Peter Attia: 握力是重要的健康指标，与多种健康问题相关。虽然它可能只是健康状况的指标，但增强握力也能改善健康。握力训练应通过进行需要用到握力的活动来训练，例如提举、拉动和悬挂等动作，而不是仅仅使用握力器。 对于旅行期间的锻炼，建议选择有良好健身设施的酒店，并根据时差调整锻炼时间。即使在条件有限的情况下，也可以通过简单的器械进行有效的锻炼。 女性应重视力量训练，因为女性天生肌肉量少，力量不如男性，容易摔倒；力量训练能提高骨密度，对抗女性绝经后骨质疏松。 运动并非理想的减肥策略，因为运动消耗的卡路里通常会被补充回来，限制卡路里摄入对减肥更有效。但运动对健康、身体成分和胰岛素敏感性至关重要，有助于维持健康体重。
