In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson continue the C.L.A.R.A. series with R is for Resilience, breaking down how resilience through resistance training makes you harder to injure, faster to heal, and better prepared for the unexpected. They explore real-world examples of slips, falls, illness, and setbacks \u2014 and why people who consistently lift weights tend to recover faster and maintain independence longer.

You\u2019ll hear why resistance training prepares you for injuries you can\u2019t predict, why muscle mass acts like insurance you carry with you, and how making training a habit \u2014 not a temporary phase \u2014 keeps life from slipping into \u201chard mode\u201d as you age. This episode is about training for real life \u2014 not just the gym.
