Your point about the brain knowing movement patterns rather than muscles is the piece that changes how people think about programming. Enjoyed it, thank you!

Thank you for reading; you’re so right, many people don’t realize it’s the brain that controls our muscles - programming movement can be a way to improve coordination as well as strength. Appreciate the comment!!!

Which of your books do you reccomend for a 67 year old woman?

Either Smarter Workouts - which teaches how to design strength training, mobility & cardio workouts or Ageless Intensity- which focuses more on strength and power training. Smarter was written for newer exercisers who want to learn what to do; Ageless was written for those who want to learn how to strength training safely as they age.
