Power Play: The Longevity Secret Hiding in Your Muscles

You know what’s more important than slipping into your favorite jeans?
Getting out of a chair without groaning.

Muscle power—how quickly you can generate force—is one of the strongest predictors of how long (and how well) you’ll live. It even beats body fat levels. Research shows that older adults with higher muscle power have up to a 45% lower risk of death, even if they’re carrying extra weight.

Unfortunately, power declines faster than strength or muscle mass as we age. And when it goes, it takes your stability, energy, and independence with it.

💥 Want to age-proof your independence? Train for power.

✨TRY THIS:

— Do strength moves with intention and speed (think: fast squats, explosive pushes, quick rises).
— Practice sit-to-stands, step-ups, or light kettlebell swings with velocity.

⚡ Power training can improve output 10–97% more than slow-and-steady strength work.

Join The Wonderfulness Community Restorative Sleep Starts with Restorative Movement Ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., doing mental math? “If I fall asleep now, I’ll get five hours…four hours…” That dread is brutal. Sleep was my superpower until hormonal hot flashes struck and woke me up every hour. Even now that I’m post-menopausal, I don’t sleep as restoratively as I once did. These struggles sneak up on so many of us,...

Join The Wonderfulness Community Do This Before Buying That Expensive Neck Cream Look around: coffee shops, offices, Zoom calls—even you right now. Heads down. Shoulders rounded. The dreaded “tech neck.” This posture is wiring our spines for pain. And if vanity speaks louder? Let’s just say it makes us look less vibrant and confident. Even as a coach, I’m not immune to screen-time slouch. The problem is, “just sitting up...
