For those asking… I’m not wearing a mask because this is a THROWBACK.
Meanwhile, in the video, Ruth is seen holding weights in her workout gear.
Frank explains the benefits of weight training, which includes toning “bingo wings, muffin tops, tummy, booty”.
Frank wrote: “Do you lift weights? Here’s a #throwback video to the time our lovely @ruthlangsford asked about #weighttraining and why it might be good.
“I answered with ‘bone density’ and ‘fat loss’ which covered the highlights but in truth I think there are farrrrr more benefits.” [Sic]
He added: “If you’ve not tried weight training, certainly look into it as I strongly believe that at any age it can have a hugely positive impact on both your #physical and #mentalhealth.”
