- They explain why season two will be more than just fitness—it will be about transforming how we age, helping us live with strength, vitality, and confidence at all stages of life.

- Brian talks about the rising interest in strength training and why it’s such an important tool for health, performance, and longevity.
- Strength training today is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must have for people looking to elevate their health and fitness journeys.
- Brian shares his thoughts on how people can feel and look decades younger. By restoring lost muscle mass, you can move, function, and live with the strength and vitality of someone 10–20 years younger than you.
- According to Dr. Fisher, most people desire to have a biological age equal to or less than their chronological age. People want to be 46 but want to function like they’re 25 years old.
- The good thing about strength training is that it’s never too late to start--it doesn't matter if you’re in your 30s or 80s.
- Wouldn't we all like to look, feel and function a decade younger than we really are? The answer is yes. According to Amy, strength training is one of the best ways to achieve that.
- Brian and Amy explain why most people automatically assume that the benefits of strength training are too good to be true.
- For example, most people find it hard to believe that strength training can make you feel and look like a person 10 years younger than you.
- It’s unfortunate that most people expect a decline in bodily function as they get older, and they’re convinced there's nothing they can do about it.
- For Amy, this doesn’t have to be the case. The secret lies in understanding how much muscle is needed to unlock the magical fountain of youth.
- Dr. Fisher breaks down a recent scientific paper on the benefits of engaging in strength training past retirement age.
- The paper covers people in their mid to late 60s and how they drastically improved their quality of life and well-being a within a few months of engaging in strength training.
- Brian reveals the connection between strength, health, and longevity.
- Join the movement. Strength training isn’t just about fitness—it’s about reclaiming your life, your health, and your potential. Be part of the revolution that’s changing how we age.
