Well, so what? My wife asks me. Well, like Mark Twain said, it’s not what you don’t know that is going to hurt you, it’s the thing you think you know for sure that just isn’t so. Just like a diet low in fat was supposed to be heart healthy or mortgage-backed securities were a sure thing that could never fail. Those kinds of errors can be fatal. And they are expert-supported ideas that coincide with the narratives we’ve created to support system 1 thinking. They are the result of mirages our minds perceive in the random patterns of the world. And they can kill us.
Our mission is Empowerment and while I believe that health and fitness should be priorities, there is no denying the Empowerment that comes with taking control of your finances.
The negative physiological symptoms many women experience during/post menopause are a result of the changing hormonal profile. But the way you train can counteract these changes. Specifically, sprinting and heavy lifting trigger a positive hormonal response resulting in better outcomes. In addition to the hormonal benefits, jumping, sprinting and heavy lifting are effective in improving musculoskeletal health leading to healthy ageing. As they age, women are more susceptible to osteoporosis leading to serious injury and debilitation. All the calcium supplementation in the world will not prevent this. In fact, calcium supplementation has been implicated in development of bone spurs and arterial calcification increasing cardiovascular health risks. Absent sufficient external stress, bones demineralize and weaken. Aquafit, cycling and yoga will not cut it. Jumping, sprinting and heavy lifting provide the stress necessary to maintain strong, healthy bones.
