Mom & Dad, Don't Skip Leg Day!

Where is the most important place to strengthen if you want to age gracefully?

If you couldn't tell by the title of this email, the answer is: YOUR LEGS!!!

A 10 year study with over 300 female twins with an average age of 55, looked to see if leg strength could predict cognitive performance. We have been preaching about the importance of strength training for our bone and muscle mass, but what about our brain health?

The study showed that those with more leg power showed significantly better cognitive function 10 years later. Not only that, brain scans showed they also had greater gray matter volume. Which means stronger legs equals healthier brains!

What's really cool about testing on twins is that they have the same genetics, same upbringing, same lifestyle at least up until adulthood. It was the actual muscle power making the difference!

Do your squats and lunges not only to make you more functional as you age, but also to make sure that you maintain a high performance brain. Mom & Dad, don't skip leg day! Your strength today predicts your independence tomorrow.

Walking is wonderful and essential, but it is NOT the same as building muscle in your legs. If you don't know where to start, we are here for you.
