Living Proof That People Could Age And Get Stronger

Staying healthy and strong while aging is a choice, one that we hope you elect as you learn how strength training can have a positive effect on your life. He was rapidly diagnosed with multiple artery blockages and sent into surgery. Today, after diligent resistance training, he’s stronger than he’s ever been. I’d done enough research by that point to know that building strength ultimately meant the difference between life and death, especially for someone like Steven who was struggling to get better. I listened to his doctors telling him to take it easy and to move, but to do nothing more strenuous than a walk. Ignoring that advice, he now enjoys enormous boosts in energy, improvement in his health, and a complete physical transformation. Something else emerged then, too. As we talked, Steven was able to encapsulate the psychological transformation of aging and strength that occurs on a person’s journey to getting healthy or avoiding frailty. Aging and the prevention of its effects were a mental game for him, even more than a physical one. But few understood it or had even heard of it. We sought his guidance in our journey.

Lying Down In Darkness

We want to make a difference in other people’s lives and to show them how to age well. We’re motivated by that notion. We want people to know it can be done. We want others to enjoy life, be exuberant, feel good, have a sense of curiosity, and experience high energy. We want others to know there is another way. Few are teaching the remedy. Only a handful of people are doing anything to address and stop this looming health crisis that will ultimately impact all of us. The good news is that we all can change its course. This disease, known as sarcopenia, can be prevented. The bad news is that not enough people are aware of this disease or how to fight it. There’s a clear and straightforward solution available to everyone, and it is the only way forward. You can make your last 20 years strong, healthy, and happy ones.

High And Dry

This is a collection of information and research all in one place that you will not find anywhere else. That path is the StrongPath. Follow the StrongPath, and you’ll save yourself an enormous amount of struggle as you age. By doing so, you’ll save yourself from the effects of sarcopenia. During this process, we did a comprehensive test study of our own with ordinary people as subjects from various walks of life and at various stages of fitness. We focused not on weight loss, but on strength building, which is the basis for the StrongPath. He’s the fitness manager at the spa at the Trump International Hotel and Tower. We set out to examine the effects of regular, true strength training. Our goal was to monitor the growth in demonstrable strength that can come from an increase in muscle hypertrophy and energy system training and from the neural activation of muscular tissues. Cullen watched for and documented muscular deficiencies and movementpattern abnormalities, recording any improvement. He also noted the participants’ ability to successfully complete activities of daily living and tracked how they improved through their rate of perceived exertion. You’ll also learn, when you read what we have to say about their struggles, that their minds and egos interfered with their efforts initially.

Not Guilty

Their weaknesses and insecurities ultimately increased, but it also fed their desires to get stronger. It will give you the science, background, and information you need to change your life. Our intention is to set you on the StrongPath of life. As you read on, you’ll realize that you can have a longer life, better quality of life, and a dramatic increase in the control over your health and future. Even simple illnesses or injuries could result in death, because we did not yet have the antibiotics or medications to heal them. Today, most people are reaching their high 70s. And, because of so many medical advancements, our generation and those who follow us have the potential to live even longer. The question is Will they live better? While science has given us the gift of additional years, we are at risk of spending many of those years in a state of diminished quality of life. At the reunion 60 years later, their capacity was much diminished. Many of these guys moved slowly and with difficulty. Some avoided stairs. Many had lost height and seemed shrunken. Fred had followed their careers and accomplishments throughout the years and had been impressed. They’d met from time to time over the years, but the difference between then and their most recent meeting was downright startling. Fred remembers standing back at one point, looking out and feeling sad. Unlike his Army buddies, Fred was taking on new challenges in his 70s, trying to capture the same enthusiasm he’d had for sports and action in his thirties. They were all once successful, talented, vibrant leaders of industry. The difference between Fred and so many others his age was stark and growing starker each year. There was a dividing line between the strong and the weak. Time had passed, and perhaps that made their obvious aging more apparent. But Fred’s energy level and lifestyle compared to theirs made it clear there was something else happening. Fred was living proof that people could age and get stronger simultaneously. What separated them and those like Fred? Starting around 1880, after millennia of stagnation,3 our life expectancy crept up slowly. By 1950, we lived to be 68 years old on average in the United States. That’s almost unfathomable to me. Because we’ve been given the precious gift of time, most of us think that 39 or 40 is when life actually begins. What Causes This Increase in Life Expectancy? Cardiovascular disease, in particular, showed dramatic decreases due to better medications, surgery, and reduction in tobacco smoking.
