Men face unique physiological challenges as they age, such as increased stiffness, shoulder pain, and other joint issues. Hence, older men must maintain mobility and proper body mechanics while training to avoid injuries and ensure long-term functionality.
Fitness expert Robbie Stahl, known as “The Fitness Doctor, ” joins me today to share fitness routines that prioritize functional movements and biomechanics for older men. We’ll discuss common issues like knee pain during lunges and the mental aspect of fitness.
