Hosted by Alex and Gavyn, Growing Younger-Health & Fitness Podcast for Over 40's is a straight-talking resource for anyone who feels their body isn't quite playing the game it used to.

Energy levels and stamina are frequent topics, with actionable advice aimed at helping you feel more vibrant and keep pace with family life. A particularly valuable thread running through this podcast is the focus on adapting exercise around existing niggles or injuries, proving that getting fitter isn't about pushing through pain but working smarter.
