They cover:

• Why we lose strength faster than we think
• What most people get wrong about exercise
• The dangers of doing nothing
• How to support people who aren’t motivated to move
• What GPs wish they had more time to help with
• Whether pills are the easy way out—and what to ask your doctor before taking them

Mark doesn’t hold back. Expect straight-talking, practical advice with plenty of takeaways.
