Does lifelong exercise influence body composition? Older endurance, sprint, and strength-trained athletes (aged 70-89) each had higher appendicular lean mass than healthy age-matched inactive controls. But - lean mass was better preserved with lifelong strength training versus endurance training. Sprint and endurance-trained older athletes also had lower fat mass than age-matched counterparts. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Couldn't have said it better. Sweating the details is dumb when the big picture is totally out of kilter

The average caloric intake in the USA: 3540 kcal/day The average daily physical activity: less than 20 min But there are people out there who believe oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, & polyunsaturated fats are what is making us sick

The worlds best lifters know that their spines need to be trained in neutral… and flexion… and ALL the other positions a spine moves into! Spine health is sooo much more than maintaining neutral! And don’t let anyone like @SquatUniversity try to tell you differently!

- small suppliers really get hosed by the purchasing power of large grocery chains - labour costs have gone up massively - fuel cost increases were significant ($2 diesel didn't help, that's for sure)

- taxing Russian fertilizer while providing no alternatives was a dumb move that punished everyone Study conclusions: we need increased transparency in the grocery sector, better government co-ordination with all stake-holders.

Anyone else notice resting heart rate fluctuations when not feeling well? My @fitbit RHR jumps 3-4 BPM when I'm under the weather. The more interesting thing is it usually starts to go up a day BEFORE I get sick. Immune system starting to mobilize.

Something I try to beat into my clients ceaselessly... No sleep = no health. If you CAN'T sleep, you have to figure out why. Notice the "metabolic abnormalities" bit on the right side of the chart below? That means lack of sleep makes you fat. 1/n
