Can you reverse frailty in your 80s? This was what we set out to find out when my parents began strength training to protect their mobility, health and independence.
Here my mum describes how she felt before she started lifting weights compared with how she feels one year on.
You can follow their incredible progress in the series Rebuilding Mum & Dad which is available on my YouTube channel (The Honest Channel).
Our one-year update is linked in this Short.
