That is quite a statement, and my intention is to get you to stop and think for a moment. You start out life weak, and you get strong, and the longer you are stronger the more LIFE you have. Letting yourself get weak is a slow death.
Read that last sentence AGAIN!
IF YOU WANT:
more energy...get stronger
to look healthy...get stronger
less body fat...get stronger
better balance and mobility...get stronger
better athletic performance...get stronger
better posture...get stronger
to live longer...get stronger
to stop and reverse osteoporosis...get stronger
a faster metabolism...get stronger
less body sag...get stronger
less injuries...get stronger
more shapely legs...get stronger
There are 2 ways to go through life: weak or strong. Which one do you choose? If you strength train 1x to 2x per week you can get strong. When you don't choose strength, by default you get weak.
