What strength exercises do you recommend to keep aging bodies strong?

One thing would be interval training, so doing small bouts with regularity.

Doing weightlifting type things, but not doing long distance aerobic stuff, long distance

aerobic stuff ends up being a bit more problematic for hormones.

Going through and doing that death march, and exercising over and over again, getting

all your steps wrapped up into one go.

You come back and you feel the pleating.

That's going to be a little bit more problematic for the body from a hormonal perspective,

than doing like introducing some weightlifting stuff in there.

If you're going to go for a run, do intervals, so maybe do like a little mini sprint or

just like higher cadence, so maybe run 70% full out, and then take a little break, do

a little walk, and then pick some distances in between two trees, do a little run, run

to that tree, take a little break, take a little walk.

Which once again, that would make sense because that replicates a lot of what we would do

from an ancestral perspective.

Not to say there's anything wrong with running, there's nothing wrong with running, but running

is a very complex activity.

I think that that's the barrier to entry, not that the question was about running, but

just comparing doing like more higher intensity interval type work compared to doing the slow

endurance thing.

I think the barrier to entry, it feels safer to do the slow gradual thing.

Okay, I'm going to work out.
