In the dynamic world of human biology, there's a microscopic hero that holds the reins of our energy levels and overall vitality: mitochondria.
These powerhouse structures, often hailed as the "energy factories of the cell," work tirelessly to transform the calories we consume from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
But here's the fascinating part – a significant chunk of these cellular powerhouses resides in our muscles.
When it comes to getting strong, fit and flexible in midlife, it's time to change the game plan.
Once you hit 40+, you can't approach training like you're fresh out of college or in your prime twenties.

In midlife, it's not uncommon to deal with aches, pains, and old injuries. It's tempting to use these as excuses to skip the gym altogether, but that's the worst thing you can do. Movement is life, and staying active has a boatload of benefits, no matter your fitness level.
