The Habit That Protects Your Independence for DECADES with Hailey Babcock

Women who fall after the age of 60 have around a 30% chance of never walking independently again. Let that sink in for a moment. Most of us don’t think about that when we’re in our 40s or 50s. But there is a gradual loss that can begin long before we notice it. . And by the time it shows up, it’s much harder to reverse. This episode is about protecting your independence. It’s about feeling capable in your own body. It’s about building the kind of strength that lets you hike at 80, carry your own suitcase, recover well from surgery, and get back up if you ever fall. Joining me on the podcast to talk about exactly that is Hailey Babcock, a trainer who has helped over 92,000 women get stronger and feel more confident in their bodies.
