Interesting new study: Long-term resistance training with all-cause and cause-specific mortality: assessing dose-response and joint associations with aerobic physical activity GQ talked about it here: https://www.gq.com/story/how-long-you-should-strength-train-every-week-to-live-longer (could make for good social or email content). TLDR: - A large prospective study followed 147,374 adults for up to 30 years and examined the relationship between resistance training, aerobic exercise, and mortality. - Performing 90–119 minutes of resistance training per week was associated with: - 13% lower all-cause mortality - 19% lower cardiovascular mortality - 27% lower mortality from neurological diseases - The mortality benefits of resistance training appeared to plateau beyond approximately 120 minutes per week. - Individuals who performed both resistance training and aerobic exercise had lower mortality risk than those who performed either type of exercise alone. - The lowest mortality risk was observed in participants who combined: - 60–119 minutes of resistance training per week - 30–45 MET-hours of aerobic activity per week - For context, 30–45 MET-hours/week is roughly equivalent to: - 7–11 hours of brisk walking per week, or - 3–6 hours of jogging/running per week, depending on intensity. - The study was observational, meaning it found associations but cannot prove that the exercise itself directly caused the reductions in mortality. - The findings support current public health recommendations that encourage a combination of: - Regular resistance training - Regular aerobic activity - Long-term consistency

I recently devoured Kyle Recchia's NEW book, 'Fit For the Calling'. At first, I thought that Kyle would share stuff I already know, and just package it for a different lay audience. But rather, I found myself highlighting passage after passage and thinking "damn, I need to do that" or "ok, I didn't know that". I am not a religious man per say, but I really enjoyed this book. I found it inspiring, practical, and insightful. This is a great book on overall health optimisation and is structured in a way to meet the reader where they are. Kyle did his research and his practical recommendations are evidence-based. I think that everyone in this community would enjoy it! Order here: https://a.co/d/03hTFMWx
