    One of the most surprising things I’ve learned on my journey toward better health in my 50s is just how important strength training is—not just for looking fit, but for staying mobile, independent, and healthy.

After months of sticking to a low-carb diet, regular walks, and some basic strength exercises, I’ve made a discovery I didn’t think was even on the horizon: I might be able to run again.
