Pursuing professional athletic dreams at age 40 at the expense of strength training, stability work, or varied intensity does not optimize healthspan or longevity.

“so the reality of it is is training for the tour de france going to increase your longevity absolutely not no way like those guys finish the tour anemic osteopenic their upper bodies are emaciated their posture is horrible there's nothing about that that is setting you up to be an octogenarian that kicks ass nothing whatsoever so their physiologic marvels but their health span sucks right so that's using that as an extreme what how would we extrapolate that to the 40 year old who just can't hang up the dreams of being a professional athlete who's out there you know running or riding or doing all of that stuff non-stop but at the expense of maybe not doing some pilates to work on core strength i hate the term but you know what i just for people understand like not working on stability not spending any time in the weight room really working on strength not varying the intensity of their workouts to work different energy systems”
