Muscle is the organ of longevity - strong muscles mean a stronger, longer life. 

As people began to focus more on longevity and quality of life rather than short-term fitness goals, strength training is becoming more recognized as the key to maintaining functional fitness - the ability to perform daily tasks with strength, balance, and flexibility. If we're interested in aging well, muscle building is a priority, especially as research continues to highlight that strength training can prevent chronic conditions like osteoporosis and sarcopenia in older adults. 

              "The higher your healthy muscle mass, the greater your protection against all-cause mortality and morbidity.'' -Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

              "In its simplest form, strength means utilizing muscle to generate force. And if you are interested in living a long and healthy life and playing with your great-grandkids someday, then muscle mass should be a priority. Never in the history of human civilization has a 90-year-old said, 'I wish I had less muscle'." -Peter Attia, MD

              "You may be surprised to learn that muscle quality and quantity are incredibly important for your overall health and well being. Quality muscle is essential for the vitality of nearly every cell, organ, or organ system in your entire body." -Dr. Andy Galpin
