Weighted Vests and Grip Strength: Useful Tools or Just Another Fitness Trend?
Description
Summary
In this episode, I talk about two trending topics in fitness: the use of weighted vests to support bone density and the significance of grip strength as a marker of longevity. I highlight the importance of understanding the context behind research and caution against the oversimplified fitness advice that often circulates on social media. I discuss how weighted vests can benefit sedentary individuals and explain the link between grip strength and overall body strength. Ultimately, I advocate for a more holistic approach to fitness, rather than focusing too narrowly on individual metrics.
