Movement Mastery
Why Strength Training Is Longevity Training
Muscle is not cosmetic. It is metabolic infrastructure, and it is the tissue most strongly associated with staying independent later in life.
Grip strength and leg power predict long-term health outcomes better than most things you can measure in a clinic.
The metabolic argument
Skeletal muscle is where most glucose is disposed of. More trained muscle means more capacity to handle a carbohydrate load without the same insulin response.
Load beats motion
Movement is good. Load is what drives adaptation. Two or three sessions a week of genuinely progressive resistance work will do more than daily unloaded activity.
