In order to live your best life we know that building strength and creating an efficient aerobic system are fundamental to living a long healthy life. At The Pillars of Health we don't just address strength, we also train the aerobic system so we can take advantage of the 40% decrease in all cause mortality when both are consistently trained. 

As we age, we can lose 16% to 40% of our strength and muscle mass. This is very concerning not only from an aesthetic viewpoint but also from a life expectancy point of view.

​

Lower skeletal muscle mass is a direct indicator of mortality risk. Losing strength and power affects our bodies resiliency when it comes to any sort of physical activity.

​

Our aerobic system is a key part of keeping us alive longer as well. Our heart is responsible for pumping blood around the body, supplying oxygen to working muscles. Having a healthy aerobic system leads to a lower resting heart rate, quicker recovery and better sleep!

 

Establishing a consistent strength and conditioning routine has many benefits.

• A reduction in all cause mortality

• Reduction in systemic Inflammatory markers

• Improved Immune System Function

• Improved Insulin Sensitivity

• Reduction in Blood Pressure

• Reduction in Depression & Anxiety Symptoms

• Reduction in Heart Disease & Cardiovascular Disease Risk

• Improvement in Neuroplasticty & Release of  Brain Derived Neurotrophic Growth Factor (BDNF)

 

The list goes on and on. The good news is establishing a regular training routine as part of your weekly life will cover such a multitude of health benefits that it's a sure fire way to make sure you live a happier, healthier and functional life as you age.​​​​​​​​​
