GRAVITY 🌎🏋️♂️
Gravity is an increasing challenge for people as they age; they fall, they break bones, they have difficulty walking up stairs or slopes, they can’t get up from a chair without using their arms.
Ironically, gravity is the upstream reason pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27358494/… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Working against gravity is how we retain our strength. Using ‘hyper-gravity’ (my term for resistance training), in any direction or plane, means that normal gravity is easier to overcome.

This physical decline of strength and fitness starts in your 30’s if you are not actively doing something about it. Again, elderly people don’t suddenly become fragile, it’s just a point on the unresisted trajectory of aging.

LEGS
If you can't do a single chin-up or pull-up that's pretty bad, you may be overweight or plain weak, whatever. But if you can't do a single air squat you probably only have a year or two (at most) to live. The condition and robustness of your legs tell us something about the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

As you age the legs become more and more important to combat fragility. You need your legs for locomotion and every meaningful activity. Working your lower body means you are working every system in the body, heart, lungs, muscles, mitochondria, blood supply…everything.
Research contradicts the common belief that muscle mass and strength decline as a function of aging alone. Instead, these declines may signal the effect of chronic disuse rather than muscle aging. Literally, 'use it or lose it'. This is good to know, as the physical degradation… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Whatever your ability, whatever your age, get started on 'Hyper-G'.
Resistance training will change your life, keep you young, and combat the physical degradation which comes from aging
Start it easy, take it slow and steady - there is no rush, but be consistent!
