Strength predicts survival

Grip and leg strength track with living longer and living independently — more than almost any other simple measure.

Sleep is the other half

One short night lowers strength, raises perceived effort and blunts recovery. Training earns nothing without it.

Sitting is not the enemy

Long, unchanged sitting is. Move every half hour and the desk stops mattering.

How to run it

  1. Power is quality: every jump landed soft, knees over the middle toes.
  2. Rest is the ten seconds between exercises — take all of it.
  3. Tired legs make sloppy landings. Slow down before form goes.
  4. Sore joints or heavy landings: take the easier version today.
