Fun Fit Fact! ⏰
As we age, we lose power (strength plus speed) at twice the rate of strength alone.

▶️ Watch my amazing rockSTARs (ages 65 to 94) at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose MA demonstrate a few power moves.

Why Power Training Matters:
▪️ Improved Reaction Time — helps prevent falls
🧠 #Brain Boost — may support cognitive #health
👊🏽 Fights #Sarcopenia — combats age related muscle loss

😅 And yes… it is #fun too!

I recommend (re-)reading the article MTinetti & Terri Fried wrote more than 20 years ago (2004): The End of the Disease Era ( https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(03)00666-1/abstract )

#Today 14

Good day!

QUESTION:
How far do you have to travel in Missoula to hike?

ANSWER:
Not far.

How warm was it yesterday? So warm that I’d have sworn it was early September.

Now, we’ve begun our journey back to normal, including forecasted rain.

Be everwell.

An image of Missoula, Montana to the far right showing its east side, including the university near the mountains where a haze lingers beneath Mount Dean Stanton. Beside that mountain to the left is Mount Sentinel, the huge M on it faintly visible. On the left of the image is a trail, golden grass descending a slope to the interstate highway. The sky is a dramatic mix of clouds and blue sky.

📣 Age Is Just a Number!

Today I had the privilege of leading my third SPARTA Strength Class in partnership with Mystic Valley Elder Services at the Heritage House in Malden, MA! 💪🏾

😅We welcomed new faces and reunited with familiar friends. The HIIT workout blended strength, power, and partner exercises.

✅Our mission: to make movement accessible, #fun, and empowering for every ability. 👟
