I used to joke with my clients about how they were “Strong like bull!” after they did a set of pushups or bench presses. There’s no doubt that our bodies can do amazing feats of strength. And, there’s no questioning the more muscle we have going into our later years, the better our health and quality of life will be. However, ageless strength is more about allowing yourself to be vulnerable, standing up for inconvenient truths, or getting back up every time you fall. It is an inner power that is always available to you and the more you lean on it, the stronger you are.
