“And that's another muscle mass and maintaining muscle mass, so important. Building up that muscle reserve earlier in life because it's kind of like, I forgot who it was. I think it was Brad Schoenfeld. He's an exercise physiologist that I had on my podcast and he's really an expert in resistance training. And he gave this analogy that I love that was like your retirement fund, right? You contribute to your 401k, you contribute so that when you're older, you have money there so that you can retire and live off of it. Well, muscle mass and even bone mass too, and resistance training is one of the best ways to build bone density as well.”
