So that's the next step.

Then I add in resistance training, but really focusing on compound moves that mimic what we want to be better at in life.

Like if I had to pick one, it would obviously be a squat.

yep and you hear from people they're like oh i can't do that because i have bad knees bad back it's i often think the the reason why you say you can't is the reason why you must what types of exercises would this be and again when you're first getting someone moving a lot of it is how the nerves you're you're training your nervous system

Like so often when you first start the first month, you're not going to see any real muscle hypertrophy because you're getting more of neurological learning.

So can you explain what that means?

So hypertrophy is your muscles getting bigger, which we know starting at around age 30, your muscle size starts to go down.

It's anywhere from three to eight percent a decade.

Doesn't have to.

The scary part actually isn't that the muscle size is going down.

It's the muscle quality problem.

A lot of it is our muscles getting infiltrated with fat.

Think ribeye versus filet.

Right.

And we're losing strength.

Two to four percent of strength versus one percent muscle.

But we're losing even more power.

Strength is how much could you pick up one time?

Power is how fast could you do it?

And when you think about what translates to everyday life and why you see people breaking a hip and never recovering is they can't catch themselves.
