Training For Your Old Lady Body: An honest, no bullshit guide to help women (re)frame exercise - Paperback

A smart, practical and empowering guide to women's fitness—focused not on looking good for a season, but on staying strong, capable and independent for life.

What comes to mind when you picture your older self?

For too long, the fitness industry has focused on aesthetics, quick transformations and the promise of a “bikini body”. Social media has only added to the pressure, often leaving women overwhelmed by conflicting advice and disconnected from what exercise can really do for their long-term health.

In Training For Your Old Lady Body, personal trainer Elizabeth Davies offers a refreshingly different approach: train now for the body you want to live in later.

After an unexpected experience during an exercise class made her realise how little she knew about her own body, Davies left her career in law to become a personal trainer. Along the way, she uncovered the importance of protecting the things that truly matter as we age—our muscle strength, bone density, mobility, heart health and pelvic floor.

Looking younger is one thing. Being able to move freely, stay active, carry your shopping, get up from the floor and remain independent is another.

With a witty, realistic and evidence-informed approach, this book helps women understand how to move and train in ways that support a strong, healthy and resilient future.

This is not a six-week body transformation.

It's a way of training for life.
