Strength Training Increases Your Longevity. "Toning" Doesn't. Roar Chapter 7

Ladies, are you hoping to get more muscle "tone"?

Well for f**k's sake, don't. Lifting tiny little weights for high reps won't do diddly-squat for your fitness or longevity. "Toning" is BS.

If you want to travel the world, play sports, and adventure in the mountains into your last decade of life, you need to strength train. What exactly does that mean? How is it different from toning?

To find out, listen to this week's 100 Year Athlete pod, where Alex and Ben talk through Chapter 7 of Roar by Stacy Sims.

Quotes:

"In order to have a good quality of life, physically, you have to train hard. You have to strength train. Cardio will not cut it." -Ben

"Don't skimp on the loads." -Alex

"We're training to make your body last a long time, so you can do cool shit until you're dead."

-Ben

"I think [with] sprint interval training, an added benefit outside of the physiology is that you teach people how hard they really can work in that short interval." -Alex

"Sweat is not a measure of a good workout." -Alex

"There's no point in trying to replicate what you already do out on the trails in the gym. We're trying to work on a totally different quality." -Alex
