HealthFit Monthly Education Series: Doug Sham, M.Ed., ACSM – Strength Training for the Ages

Exercise physiologist Doug Sham leads a session on the mechanics and benefits of resistance work in Strength Training for the Ages. Part of the HealthFit education series presented by the Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, the talk breaks down how building muscle mass improves bone density, balance, and longevity across different stages of life. Sham translates clinical exercise science into practical, adaptable routines. The presentation offers clear guidance for maintaining physical independence rather than focusing on aesthetic bodybuilding.
