Yeah, I wish I had known about strength training way back when. I was introduced to it when I was 16 because my friend's brother was a bodybuilder. And I was like, oh, okay, I'll go because Michelle, you're going, I'll go with you. But I didn't really realize what that meant.

So when we talk about the science of strength training right now, we know that with age, we lose muscle really quickly, start to lose it when we hit 30. And it's really important because one, it's an active tissue, so it helps maintain so many different systems in our body. Not only that, but we think about strength training and how it puts leverage on the bone to improve bone.

But the big thing really is when we think about cognitive decline. So we see that there's a sex difference as we get older in Alzheimer's, dementia, cognitive decline. And it has to do with brain metabolism. So that's the fuel that your brain uses. And what we call neuroplasticity or how your brain adapts and creates neural pathways.

If we're strength training, then yeah, we're taking care of our bone and our muscle. But it's creating signals to the brain to increase its ability to be really active. plastic. So it's like, yeah, okay, I need to have a new pathway. Let's develop that pathway. And so it's always changing. It's like Sudoku, right?

You're mentally working on that, but strength training does the same thing, but it also improves overall metabolism. So now your brain is very flexible and it's like, okay, well, I need glucose, but then I can use lactate. So when you start doing all of these things, it reduces your chances of developing cognitive issues.

So for women, I'm always like, yeah, strength training is great because we're building all these things. We're changing our body composition. But for the long term, we want to have a good body and a good mind.

So if we're doing these things and creating more pathways and developing existing pathways and making the brain very responsive and able to be flexible, then we're going to have a really good sound mind growing. when we're all doing Zimmer frame races when we're 100. What are Zimmer frame races? You know, those frames that old women have to use or old men. I've never seen those.

I don't know what you're talking about. In the nursing homes, you haven't seen those silver walkers?
