We've got it upside down when it comes to age and physical activity—we actually need more movement, not less.

“Slower division and more inactive cells make our bodies less responsive to exercise over time. Stuff we’ve always done to stay fit stops working. Said another way, it’s actually the first half our our lives that has us coasting downhill, drafting behind the good graces of our cells.

Midlife is when the uphill work of physical activity begins. If you think in pictures, flip the “over the hill” graph. You’re now in the valley, and if you want to keep going, it’s an uphill push from here."
