In this Mini Motivation episode, host Amelia Phillips is joined by elite fitness coach Sharelle Grant to discuss the key strategies for building more muscle – something that’s vital, but more difficult, as we age. They discuss the key principles of training for muscle growth in midlife, the biggest mistakes women make in their workouts, and how novices can step into the weights room with confidence. Sharelle also provides a sample program for 3 x 25-minute sessions a week to maximise those gains.
