'Simply the best book I've read on women's fitness and health' PROFESSOR ALICE ROBERTS

'A roadmap for being strong, capable, and free in our bodies at every age' JAMEELA JAMIL

'Witty, data-driven and realistic . . . the only way exercise should be written about!' JENNIFER COX

What comes to mind when you picture your older self?

For too long, social media and the fitness industry have prioritised aesthetics over our health. Every year, we are bombarded with the message to 'train for our bikini body', warping our relationship with exercise and flooding us with misinformation. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, or worse, give up on your fitness journey altogether.

When Elizabeth Davies wet herself during an exercise class, she realised she knew next to nothing about her body. Ditching her law career to become a personal trainer meant she discovered some real home truths along the way. Like learning that muscle mass decreases by approximately 3-8% per decade after the age of thirty, or that osteoporosis affects one in three women over the age of 50 worldwide.

Finding the best products to fight wrinkles might make you look younger, but they won't protect your muscles or your bone density. And what about mobility? Your pelvic floor? Your heart?

Organised around core principles rather than strict prescriptions, Training For Your Old Lady Body invites readers to understand their bodies, make informed decisions and build a long-term, compassionate relationship with movement. Rather than offering a rigid programme or prescriptive 'one-size-fits-all' routines, this book gives women the knowledge they need to train in ways that keep them moving well for decades.

This is not a six-week bikini body transformation. It's a way of training for life.

Growing up in the nineties has left so many of us with a warped view of exercise and nutrition. This book is a good step towards reframing that, and moving towards a much healthier approach. The book has a nice mix of personal experience, evidence to back up reasoning, and guidance on reframing approaches. It focuses on moving away from using food and exercise in order to LOOK good into using it to actually feel good. The goal isn't to be thin, but to be able to still function through into old age. I'm very glad I read this!
