We love BOTH!

If you are already doing strength training then pat yourself on the back because you are ahead of the curve. If you aren’t, you should seriously consider trying to start.

We must start treating physical inactivity as a disease. It carries the same mortality risk as smoking, heart disease, and diabetes. Going from a low cardiorespiratory fitness to a low normal adds 2.1 years to life expectancy. By age 50, many Americans have already lost 10% of their peak muscle mass. By 70, many have lost up to 40%. This isn’t just about looking strong. It’s about survival. • Higher muscle mass means improved insulin sensitivity - it means a 30% lower mortality risk. • Grip strength is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular mortality - the number one cause of death in the United States - than high blood pressure. • The strongest middle-aged adults have a 42% lower dementia risk. And yet, we treat resistance training as optional. It is not. It is the most powerful intervention we have against aging including increasing muscle mass, strength and bone density. Grateful for the chance to share my voice at the Senate Aging Committee (@senateaging). Special thanks to Senator Rick Scott (@flsenrickscott) for making this opportunity possible. The full talk with Q&A is available now on the FoundMyFitness YouTube channel.
