Why strength?

They’re not just about strength, but posture, mobility, bone and mental health. Research suggests that stronger muscles even reduce the risk of chronic disease.

But most of us lose 30% of our muscle mass by the time we hit our 60s. That’s a problem.

We’ve developed a science-led method that prolongs life by increasing bone density and muscle mass:

A recent study shows us that the average 80 year old trained person can have the same strength as the average 30 year old that is untrained. Can you believe it?

Imagine having the same strength as someone 50 years younger, just by working out?

Remember there is a difference between health span and lifespan. Lifespan is how long you live. Health span is the quality of those years.

The drop off in the graph is a direct reflection in the drop off in the quality of life as we grow old. And with this drop you will lose confidence, and the ability to maintain your independence and do everything you love to do.

Thankfully it does not have to be this way, and that’s where Goodnick comes in.

We all grow older. The trick is doing it well.
