Hampton Learning Labs – Strong For Life: Why Strength Matters As We Age

Join Jen Gendron, certified Health & Wellness Coach for this talk, designed for those who want to stay active, strong, and capable as they age. We’ll explore why strength exercises are essential for maintaining balance, protecting bones, reducing the risk of falls, and supporting everyday activities like walking, lifting, and getting up from a chair.

You’ll learn how strength training supports joint health, posture, and overall wellbeing—and how it can be adapted for all fitness levels. This session will also address common myths and concerns about strength training, including safety, flexibility, and getting started later in life. Participants will leave with practical tips, a sample home or trackside exercise routine, and confidence that it’s never too late to build strength and stay independent.
