We know that resistance training is a core component of health and longevity, but it can be daunting for many people to understand where and how to start. If you’re seeking expert advice on getting started or continuing your journey to implement resistance training and maintain lean muscle mass, today’s episode is for you.

Today on the Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode where Dhru speaks with several podcast guests about the importance of strength training and maintaining lean muscle mass. Dhru chats with Dr. Lyon about how to start the resistance training journey if your starting point is a sedentary lifestyle. Dr. Lyon shares why individuals fear beginning and how to overcome this limiting belief. Sal Di Stefano shares his thoughts on where to start, the biggest mistakes people make, and his views on creating sustainable habits. JJ Virgin shares the importance of aging powerfully and focusing on envisioning what you want your life to be like as you age.
