    Re-Release: Guided Exercise After 50 with George Norden of Joint Effort

    This week, Sounds of Health brings you a re‑released conversation with exercise physiologist and Joint Effort Guided Exercise founder George Norden — originally streamed live on Facebook and still one of our most impactful episodes for listeners over 50. George shares how adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond can safely regain strength, stamina, balance, and energy — and why the right environment and accountability structure make all the difference. He also tells the story behind Joint Effort’s unique “guided exercise after 50” model and how he grew from one small space with used equipment to four thriving Connecticut locations in Guilford, Branford, Old Saybrook, and Niantic. “The harder I work; the luckier I get,” George says as he reflects on seeing a need, filling a gap, and helping older adults feel better, move better, and stay independent.
