Think strength training is only for the young or injury-free? Think again.

In this short and powerful episode, Josh shares the story of Maria—a 77-year-old woman with diabetes, high blood pressure, sciatica, and limited mobility—who reclaimed her independence through just one hour of strength training per week.
