In the last month, three people very close to me have ended up in the hospital.
Two broken hips.
One stroke.
I am not sharing that because I think any of these things could have necessarily been prevented with better exercise or better health.
Life doesn’t work that way.
Bad things happen to good bodies.
But it has reminded me of something I believe more strongly than ever:
We don’t get to choose everything that happens to our bodies.
But we can influence how much capacity we have when life inevitably happens.
Strength matters.
Balance matters.
Cardiovascular health matters.
Muscle mass matters.
Mobility matters.
