Quote: “In movement, there is life” – Aristotle
“Genius starts with the abs Max” – The Grinch

As a hospitalist I frequently have to place people in nursing homes
. I estimate that the reason why >90% cannot live at home anymore…….NOT ENOUGH STRENGTH. Think: needs help standing, needs help walking, unable to go up steps, unable to lift a dinner plate, etc. Additionally, I have noticed that as soon as muscle goes, cognition follows.

Most people are concerned about having enough money for retirement. But, what people should be concerned about is having enough muscle. No-one can give this to you. It must be earned over years and decades.
You cant just talk about it, you have to do it. – Arnold Schwarzenegger
