Longevity experts advocate strength training and mobility to combat aging
Health and longevity experts emphasize that physical decline is not an inevitable consequence of aging, but often a result of sedentary lifestyles. Orthopedic surgeon Vonda Wright notes that much of what is attributed to aging is actually caused by a lack of movement. Supporting this, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee suggests that prioritizing movement can allow individuals in their 70s to maintain muscle architecture similar to those in their 40s.
Personal wellness routines also highlight the importance of strength training and nutrition. Antonela Roccuzzo advocates for daily exercise and weight training to ensure long-term health, while maintaining a diet focused on organic foods and avoiding alcohol and tobacco. Similarly, fitness trainer Liz Hilliard, who focuses on mature women, credits strength and mobility exercises for her ability to remain in better physical shape at age 72 than she was at 40.
