Description

At what point is it too late to start weight training? Never! I truly mean that. No matter your age, even if you’ve never lifted a dumbbell in your life, it is never too late to begin. That said, I know it can be intimidating to get started.  In today’s episode, I explain everything you need to know to strength train properly: exactly what to do, how to do it, and when to switch it up. You’ll learn how to start and progress a resistance-training program to build muscle and increase your strength and power—without getting injured. Plus, I’m revealing the most important factor in a successful exercise routine… and it may not be what you think.  After you listen, be sure to head over to YouTube to watch me demonstrate the correct form to prevent injury and improve your results.  Whether you’re brand new to resistance training or have been doing it for years, this episode will help you get the most out of your routine.  Full show notes: jjvirgin.com/agepowerfully Download your free exercise worksheet:  jjvirgin.com/power Try my protein calculator: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst DEXA scan: https://dexascan.com/ Bioimpedance scale: https://amzn.to/3Dwlz4q Tape Measure: https://amzn.to/43Fqx9S Handgrip dynamometer: https://amzn.to/45uEdX4 Adjustable weight dumbbell set: https://amzn.to/3oucN30 TRX Training: Free Shipping on all orders $99+: https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=ml&ti=931205&pw=347877 Lumen: https://www.lumen.me/shop?fid=8763&utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=influencer&discount=JJV Resistance bands: https://amzn.to/3Ps114c Adjustable exercise bench: https://amzn.to/3WAxc2T Exercise ball: https://amzn.to/3IEacuh Bosu Ball: https://amzn.to/3Ep9rCZ Koori Cold Plunge: Go to https://www.koorucoldplunges.com/ and use code JJVIP500 for $500 off Designs for Health Creatine: https://amzn.to/3pPLGjE  Epsom salt: https://amzn.to/47NqVX4 Sunlighten Sauna: https://get.sunlighten.com/j748h5w7er2a  Use promo code JJVIRGIN when requesting pricing information for $600 off Foam roller set: https://amzn.to/3L8p5X9 Reignite WellnessTM Curcumin Chews: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/supplements/products/curcumin-chews Reignite WellnessTM Omega Plus: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/supplements/products/omega-plus Listen to Dr. Peter Attia’s Drive Podcast: https://peterattiamd.com/podcast/ Doorway pull up bar: https://amzn.to/3YD5CmE Pull-up assistance bands: https://amzn.to/3Y1euCc
