Yes, I believe it is important to save and invest for your future in some form of retirement account. No, I am not giving financial advice. I am talking about your “physiological 401k”. Strength training is like making a regular payment in your “physiological 401k”. Each workout is a deposit, building up reserves of muscle, bone density, and function.
Just as a financial 401k grows over time, strength training accumulates physical resilience, preparing us for the demands of later years. This allows us to have a reserve to pull from when we need it to stay active and independent. Like grandma always said it is smart to save for a rainy day.
We know that raining day is coming sooner or later for all of us. When it comes to your physiological self, you need to have the money in the bank ahead of time, it cannot be put on a credit card. Invest today so you can be "Singing in the Rain"
Imagine each week’s worth of workouts is a 10% deposit from your paycheck into an investment account. Over time, these deposits help offset the inevitable withdrawals that come with aging, like muscle loss or declining bone health. Regular strength training helps preserve our body’s resources, ensuring mobility, balance, and independence in our later years.
People who don’t invest in their physiological 401k will struggle more with everyday tasks as they age, facing increased risks of falls and loss of autonomy. Those who prioritize strength training build a robust reserve, enabling them to handle life’s physical demands with greater ease and confidence. By treating strength training as a long-term investment, we safeguard our future health and independence, making retirement years more active and fulfilling.
