What If Strength Were The Ultimate Measure Of Health?

Comfort is the enemy of strength, and the world is only getting more comfortable.

Strength isn’t the ultimate measure of health.

Unless everything hurts.

When you can barely sit up straight, your shoulders are stiff, and your feet bark so bad you want to ride one of those carts at the grocery store; strength matters most.

When you feel weak.

Strength training doesn’t have to be complicated. But it does have to be consistent. Not to mention challenging.

Far too many of us lug around sixty-pound bags of mulch in the garden only to toss 20 lb. dumbbells around at the gym. That’s not gonna cut it.

Not only will working below your ability become a soul-sucking waste of time, but when we fail to challenge ourselves, we get bored. And when we get bored, we quit.

How much strength is enough?
