Every strength training session you do is a deposit in your metabolic 401K. It’s an investment in your physical capabilities, and your sustained independence. It’s the ticket to more peak life experiences that can bring feelings of joy and fulfillment.
Building muscle isn’t exclusively a vanity pursuit. It certainly can be, and that’s great. Having visible abs and muscular arms are viable goals for some people.
But it goes much deeper than that.
▪️Lift weights to be strong, free, and prepared.
▪️Lift weights to elevate your self-confidence in all areas of life.

▪️Lift weights to build muscle and improve your metabolic efficiency (how well your body uses fat and carbs as energy sources).
▪️Lift weights to become more gritty and resilient in the face of inevitable life stressors.
▪️Lift weights to be the baddest senior citizen NOT in the nursing home.
