Dr. Darshan Shah, a Harvard-trained physician, suggests prioritizing strength training after 40 for sustained health. He highlights that after 40 the body loses muscle and bone density, especially in women after menopause, leading to frailty. Strength training offers benefits beyond muscle, including improved cardiovascular health, sleep, mood, and weight management. Physiotherapist Emma Mitchell clarifies that women won't become bulky, but achieve a toned physique.
