Thanks for asking about this Lyn. For the last several years I’ve been doing “strongman” work. Strongman combines power lifting with cardio in a way that’s not damaging to joints like CrossFit.

Since moving to my homestead 11 months ago I’ve incorporated strongman movements into my daily chores. I don’t bend over at the waist, I squat. I carry logs like an atlas stone or sandbag. Chopping wood as “Russian twist” etc.

I’m 50 years old and haven’t had a single injury due to work related movements this year. Strongman is designed to be ergonomically healthy for the extreme athlete which translates into healthy movement for the aging body.
