    Thanks! I took a look at the studie and it’s “citations” and “cited by” articles. Sounds promising! I’ve got dementia / AD in the family, pretty sure I’m next in line in about 50 years. I’ve never heard about the topic but it seems pretty rigorously researched!

    I climb, but not very often. Time to get the running shoes out and start getting some regular exercise in again.

    Weight lifting can get stolen for all I care, I hate it 😂 But we have a forest exactly 3 minutes walk away, so time to get out in nature again!

      I understand weightlifting/resistance training is not for everybody. It is crucial to prevent sarcopenia a little too early in life. And it doesn’t take a whole lot to get 90% of the benefits from strength training. Two sessions/week of 1hr each is all you need to reap most of the benefits.
