Lifting twice your bodyweight in your 60s – and beating the competition

The Body Coach: Extraordinary People

Catherine was an inconsistent exerciser her whole life, but now in her 60s, she’s become a powerlifting record holder. 

In this episode, Catherine shares her motivating story with Joe Wicks. She discusses how joining ‘PE with Joe’ in lockdown set her off on this journey, becoming a personal trainer for the first time aged 62, her passion for inspiring older women to train, and why she ignores the numbers on the scale.

Plus, she shares her experiences running her own lifting club for women and what advice she’d offer if you don’t think you have the strength to lift – because you absolutely do!
