Strength training is about PRs, aesthetics, or stress relief. But as life speeds up\u2014and as you watch parents and peers lose independence\u2014the real value of training becomes clear. In Episode 2 of the C.L.A.R.A. series, Andrew and Niki explore what longevity actually means, why strength training protects quality of life, and how consistency through imperfect seasons keeps you capable for decades. They discuss Dr. Jonathan Sullivan\u2019s concept of compressing the morbidity window, the dangers of the \u201csick aging phenotype,\u201d and why strength training must become a non-negotiable as life changes.
