Injuries can be real setbacks, right? Whether it's a sports injury or a planned surgery, recovery often takes time and requires immense patience. But here's the good news: Those who focus on muscle building beforehand will recover faster.

"If you are >65, and you fall and break your hip, there is a 30-40% chance you will be DEAD in 12 months," writes Dr. Peter Attia, the world's most renowned Longevity Expert. 30 out of 100 individuals over 65 years old experience at least one fall per year. Snow, ice, and slippery conditions in winter pose a significant risk. The consequences of falls can ultimately cost independence in old age. Therefore, you should make every effort to avoid falling, and if you do, to fall safely. We'll show you why strength training is the ideal fall prevention at any age and how it fits into your daily routine.

Did you know that your body composition influences your immune defenses? That means you can actively work to become more resistant to bacteria and viruses.
