Rethinking Fitness: The Power of Movement for All Ages with Albert Kehoe #094

The Laura Dowling Experience

In this episode, we’re joined by Albert Kehoe, a physiotherapist, who shares how movement can improve your health and well-being. With years of experience, Albert talks about helping people recover from injuries, manage pain, and stay mobile, while showing the long-term benefits of exercise.

We chat about how modern life has changed our activity levels and what we can do to stay fit. Albert gives practical tips for starting a fitness journey, highlighting the benefits of resistance training for building strength, muscle, and bone health, plus easy ways to add more movement to your day, like quick “exercise snacks” anyone can do.

We also explore ideas from John J. Ratey's book Spark on how exercise can transform the brain and kids’ health, including a look at physical education in schools and how exercise habits start in childhood. Tune in for practical advice on making movement a part of everyday life—for all ages!
