Once and awhile, ChatGPT hits.
This afternoon, I was looking for inspiration for content.
I cued ChatGPT:
“I want to talk about prioritizing strength training over other types of exercise”
And without hesitation, out popped this one liner…
“Muscle is the retirement account for your health”
Boom. That was it.
Listen, there are dozens of modalities of exercise: cardio kick boxing, running, walking, yoga, pilates, zumba, dance, sport, hiking… the list goes on.
And frankly, all of these are awesome, and I generally encourage our members to diversify their movement for the sake of variety and breaking up monotony.
BUT!
No other type of exercise gives you the ROI that strength training does.
In addition to the more immediate effects of building muscle (aesthetics, metabolism, blood sugar regulation, bone density, posture, energy levels…)
Strength training and muscle building also have a residual benefit on our quality of life as we age; think staying independent, carrying our own groceries, getting up off the ground, injury prevention, playing with current/future grandkids, travelling… the list goes on.
So for many of our members, who are busy with work/families/kids, that only have 2-4 hours per week to dedicate to exercise, it’s kind of a no brainer 🤷♂️.
Strength training gives you benefits now, while also investing in the version of yourself you’ll be 10, 20, or 30 years from now.
That’s a pretty powerful return.
