Was the phrase used by the great and the good to justify coercing people into taking the pokey poke for The Virus That Must Not Be Named.
Can’t say I was swayed.
But then, I’ve always believed that if the government wants me to do something that badly, then it’s probably not in my best interests.
Call me selfish if you like, but that is my opinion.
Anyway.
What I have for you today is a piece of scientific evidence (of the non-corrupt variety) demonstrating the importance of strength training beyond a shadow of a doubt.
It’s a 2023 study titled:
“Preventable deaths involving falls in England and Wales, 2013-22: a systematic case series of coroners’ reports”
The most pertinent finding was that one in eight preventable deaths in the UK involved a fall.
Pretty shocking when you think about it.
And I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not join the great cloud of witnesses because I fell over, snapped my hip, and lay in my effluvia for upwards of a day because our third-world healthcare system had no ambulances to send to my aid.
(When I was last working on emergency ambulances back in 2016, a wait of 12 hours or more was common for those who had fallen. Former colleagues have since told me things have only gotten worse).
So, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that strength training is something you should start taking very seriously if you’re not already.
If you are taking it seriously, then there’s always room to make what you’re doing more efficient and effective.
That’s all I got.
However, if what I’ve just said has resonated, The Phil Tyreman Letter may be of interest.
