Age on your own terms with Jacqueline Hooton

On episode 712 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan welcomes Jacqueline Hooten, a personal trainer and fitness tutor with over 20 years of experience, to discuss her book Strong: The Definitive Guide to Active Aging. Together, they dive into what it truly means to "age strong," focusing on how strength training, maintaining boundaries, and prioritizing our own wellness can transform the second half of life. Jacqueline shares her expertise on the importance of staying strong—not just for aesthetics, but to perform, function, and feel our best as we age. She shines a light on the realities of muscle and bone loss (sarcopenia and osteopenia), and why both men and women should prioritize strength and movement. Plus, Allan and Jacqueline talk about the crucial role of setting boundaries—what Jacqueline calls "ring fencing" time for yourself—and why it's often the hardest, yet most important, change to make. This episode is packed with actionable advice for building a balanced fitness program that covers all the key components—cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, agility, and more.   Time Stamps: 09:25 Health Over Numbers 11:16 Addressing Caregiver Shortage Crisis 15:48 Lunchtime Workout Strategy 18:42 Generational Boundaries and Responsibilities 22:51 Fitness Components Overview 26:19 Holistic Fitness Through Smart Training 30:11 Aging and Muscle Loss 33:31 Osteoporosis: Genetics vs. Strength Training 34:56 Fitness Key to Injury Recovery 37:24 Hydration Importance During Exercise 41:07 Menopause Linked to Shoulder Pain 45:42 Rapid Recovery Surprises PT 47:16 Strength Training's Role in Recovery 51:32 Avoiding Injury Through Balanced Training 55:53 Inclusive Fitness: Beginner to Advanced   https://www.instagram.com/hergardengym/
