Thread of threads on the unsung benefits of resistance exercise.

- Denser bones
- More Powerful and Synchronized Nervous System
- Blood Vessel Growth and Re-Shaping

These inner changes precede grand physique transformations, and many give up before they can blossom.

1/ Denser Bones

Your skeleton adapts to the what it is exposed to the most.

So if that's a chair, then your most inner foundations transform accordingly.

You become a chair, and any other position stresses your lower back.

2/ More Powerful and Synchronized Nervous System

Exercise creates better connections between your brain and your muscles.

You become stronger and start to move fluidly through life.

3/ Blood Vessel Growth and Re-Shaping

What better way to train your blood vessels to open up than to put your body through a workout.

It is essential to maintain this function as you age, and regular exercise is an excellent way to do so.

The road to your ideal body composition goal will be boring and non-linear at times.

Maintaining the results even more so.

Most run out of motivation before the first month even ends.

Remember that the universe within changes much faster, and these gains follow you for life.
