Workouts: Simply Dumbbells

Strength training in midlife is essential. Strong body = strong muscles and bones.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need access to a gym full of equipment. Some dumbbells and your own bodyweight is more than enough to build your strength.

I’ve written a detailed guide: ‘Strength Training 101’
