Strength training 2–3×/week
What it is
All major muscle groups; 2–4 sets of 6–12 reps; from 40 this is the single highest-value habit (muscle loss ~1%/year without it).
Always on
- Minimal template: squat, hinge (deadlift), push, pull, carry — 45 minutes, 3×/week.
- Progress load or reps every 1–2 weeks; log it.
