Description

This week on The Confident Body Show, Michael Dermansky is joined by Lyne Strmecki, a competitive basketball player still going strong at 58, to discuss how to improve long-term strength without relying solely on gym workouts.

They explore Lyne’s journey from elite sport to targeted rehabilitation, how COVID reshaped her approach to fitness, and why professional supervision makes all the difference when it comes to safe, effective training. Lyne also shares how strength and conditioning have helped her stay confident on the court, and in everyday life.
