DON’T MAKE “THIS EXERCISE MISTAKE” ✔️
By

Unfortunately, too many adults skip Strength Training, mistakenly believing that cardio-respiratory exercise (e.g., walking, biking, swimming) will keep them strong and active. Cardio-respiratory exercise does not prevent dynapenia. You're gradually becoming weaker and less active If you're not Strength Training. The loss of strength and the corresponding decrease in physical activity is primarily due to a de-conditioning of the neuromuscular system that occurs when you are not Strength Training. Maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle into your 70s, 80s, and beyond requires an unwavering commitment to Strength Training!

SIMPLE BUT BETTER ✔️
By Richard J. Wolff, RDN

Does pumping iron (i.e., Strength Training) require super-human discipline? Decades ago, media outlets portrayed Strength Training as something iron-willed men and women (i.e., Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, etc.) performed hours a day, all week long! Fast forward to the twenty first century and Strength Training program have become efficient, user-friendly, and safe! Long gone are the days of spending hours in the gym to build a strong, fit body. The current American College of Sports Medicine recommendations for Strength Training include efficient, full-body workouts, twice per week. Fortunately, modern Strength Training is for everyone (athletes, adults, etc.). Strong muscles enhance physical performance and overall health. Given all the good news, when’s your next workout?

AVOID “POST SURGERY” DIPS 👇
By

Recovering from a major surgery has historically included bed rest with little to no physical activity. Fortunately, modern rehabilitation programs use physical therapy and daily movement to accelerate the recovery process!

Once you receive medical clearance it makes sense to restart your Strength Training program to avoid health compromising dips (muscle loss and deconditioning associated with layoffs)!

STOP LOSING MUSCLE ✔️

By Richard J. Wolff, RDN

When people think of strength training, they often think about getting stronger! While there are clear benefits to gaining strength (e.g., improved functional capacity, better health), your workout does more than build your body. Minimizing muscle breakdown is also essential when living your best life. By preventing muscle loss, you maximize the net benefits of every strength workout. During your strength workout, muscles receive a potent anti-catabolic signal that effectively slows muscle breakdown between meals. Ultimately, your strength workout benefits you in two ways: it stimulates muscle growth (muscle protein synthesis) and reduces muscle loss (muscle protein breakdown). In other words, you get the best of both worlds with your strength training! MEDFITNESS is a Strength Training Studio. Schedule your Free Trial Workout at 2400 E. Main Street, Saint Charles, IL 60174.

THERE IS “NO FREE LUNCH” ❌
By

The older we get, the more we value living life on our terms. Unfortunately, with age comes dynapenia (strength loss). Your ability to live the way you want while avoiding life-ending events (i.e., hip fractures, strokes, heart attacks, falls, etc.) is related to how strong you are. A 2016 study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings reinforces the importance of getting stronger when Strength Training. According to the study's authors, completing a prescribed number of repetitions may not improve your health if you are not getting stronger. However, training hard enough to stimulate improvements in strength appears to generate significant health benefits. In this study, participants that got a little stronger (the bottom quartile for strength) experienced no reduction in all-cause mortality. In contrast, those that got significantly stronger (the top quartile for strength) experienced a 72% risk reduction for all-cause mortality. There are both direct and indirect reasons why being stronger reduces mortality rates. Given that exercisers want results, this study reminds us there is no free lunch. When Strength Training, you must earn your benefits by challenging yourself to work hard!
