"To keep a car fit, you have to step on the gas regularly - it's the same with your body."

Perhaps you're looking forward to listening to this SMP LeaderTalk episode with your legs up on the couch because your smartwatch has rewarded you with the following fitness notification: "Great, you've reached your goal of 10,000 steps!" Be warned: don't get too comfortable. Because our guest will bring you back down to earth.

"The 10,000-step rule to stay healthy is absolute nonsense."

Prof. Dr. Ingo Froböse is a sports scientist, university professor and author. His athletic heart beats for quality of life at any age. What does he think it takes? Simple muscle training. According to Froböse, this doesn't mean cozy walking trends on TikTok or other advertising gimmicks, but real endurance and strength training. If you'd rather stay in your comfort zone at this point, then this podcast episode is just right for you.

"We need physical training to compensate for social problems."

Together with Georgiy Michailov, Froböse embarks on an exciting journey through our bodies: the two talk about what happens during muscle training and that it is never too late to do something for your health. That our society is becoming increasingly unathletic and that muscle atrophy is the biggest enemy of anyone who wants to maintain a high quality of life. And he surprises us with the theory that carbohydrates are not bad - only the fact that we eat too many of them.
