SPRY365Dublin

One of the biggest misconceptions in health?

That exercise alone creates transformation.

It doesn’t.

Your body still needs the raw materials to:
• Build muscle
• Support bone tissue
• Recover properly
• Maintain metabolism

And after 40, protein becomes especially important.

Why?

Because adults naturally lose muscle mass with age unless they actively support and train it.

At SPRY 365, we talk about nutrition because:
• Muscle supports bone
• Protein supports muscle
• Hydration supports recovery
• Recovery supports consistency

The InBody even tracks:
✔️ Protein levels
✔️ Body water balance
✔️ Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Because nutrition isn’t separate from strength.

It’s part of it.

And consistency matters more than perfection.

What’s harder for you:
Getting enough protein… or staying consistent with nutrition overall?

Balance doesn’t disappear overnight.

It fades quietly.

That’s why we track balance at SPRY 365.

Because balance predicts independence.

And balance is about much more than your legs:
✔️ Muscle activation
✔️ Coordination
✔️ Nervous system response
✔️ Stability under movement

The good news?

Balance can improve dramatically with intentional training.

That’s why we combine:
• Power Plate training
• Strength work
• Stability drills
• Ongoing reassessments

Confidence starts with stability.

👉 Comment “STEADY” if balance has become more important to you recently.

Bone loss is often called the “silent disease.”

Because you usually don’t feel it happening.

In fact:
• 1 in 2 women over 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture
• Bone density naturally declines with age—especially after menopause
• Hip fractures dramatically increase loss of independence risk

But here’s the part many people never hear:

Bone is living tissue.

And bone responds to force.

That means bone can adapt when given the right stimulus consistently.

At SPRY 365, we focus on:
✔️ Osteogenic loading
✔️ Strength development
✔️ Balance training
✔️ Fall prevention strategies

Because stronger bones don’t just reduce fracture risk.

They support:
• Confidence
• Stability
• Long-term mobility
• Independence

Bone health isn’t just about preventing problems.

It’s about preserving freedom.

Have you had your bone density checked recently?

Most people think weight tells the whole story.
It doesn’t.

Two people can weigh exactly the same…
…and have completely different:
• Muscle mass
• Body fat levels
• Visceral fat
• Strength potential
• Health risk profiles

That’s why we use the InBody scan at SPRY 365.

The scan measures:
✔️ Skeletal Muscle Mass
✔️ Body Fat Percentage
✔️ Segmental muscle balance
✔️ Body water balance
✔️ Visceral fat levels
✔️ Muscle imbalance patterns
✔️ Progress over time

And one of the most important things we track?
Muscle loss.

Because losing weight while losing muscle is NOT a win.

The InBody specifically helps identify:
• Whether weight loss came from fat or muscle
• Whether lower body muscle is underdeveloped
• Whether someone may be at higher fall risk

This is especially important after 40.

Because maintaining muscle is one of the keys to:
• Bone support
• Metabolism
• Balance
• Independence

The scale can’t tell you that.

The InBody can.

Facts About the InBody Grip Strength Test

One of the strongest predictors of healthy aging…
isn’t body weight.

It’s grip strength.

Research has linked low grip strength to:
• Increased fall risk
• Reduced mobility
• Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
• Loss of independence
• Even increased overall mortality risk

That’s why we use the InBody Grip Strength

Test at SPRY 365.

And here’s what’s interesting:

Average grip strength for women declines steadily with age:
• Ages 35–39 average ~67 lbs
• Ages 55–59 average ~59 lbs
• Ages 70–74 average ~52 lbs

The AWGS Sarcopenia Assessment considers grip strength below:
• 62 lbs for men
• 40 lbs for women
as a major warning sign for muscle loss risk.

This is why grip strength matters so much.

It’s not just about your hands.

It reflects whole-body strength and functional aging.

And the good news?

Grip strength can improve with intentional training.

Small test.
Big insight.

Have you ever tested your grip strength before?

Most people stretch their IT band incorrectly.

They twist.
They force it.
They lose alignment.

At SPRY 365, we keep it simple:
• Tall posture
• Controlled cross-over position
• Gentle lean
• Let the vibration assist

Because the goal isn’t intensity.
It’s effective positioning.

When done correctly, this improves:

Hip alignment
Stride efficiency
Lower body comfort

Small adjustments…

Big difference.

When you stretch, do you feel it in the right place… or just “somewhere”?

Sitting changes everything.

Especially your hips.

Tight hip flexors can lead to:
• Poor posture
• Lower back discomfort
• Shortened stride

So we focus heavily on this stretch.

On the Power Plate, we coach:
• Tall posture (no leaning forward)
• Gentle forward shift
• Glutes engaged
• Let the vibration deepen the release

This isn’t about forcing the stretch.

It’s about restoring natural position.

When hips open up…

Movement becomes easier.
Posture improves.
Walking feels smoother.

How much of your day is spent sitting?

The back of the arms is often overlooked.

But it plays a huge role in:
• Pushing strength
• Stability
• Everyday function

On the Power Plate tricep hold, we coach:
• Hinge position with control
• Elbows fixed in place
• Full extension and hold
• No swinging or momentum

Again — it’s not about reps.

It’s about control under tension.

That’s what builds real strength.

And over time, that strength shows up in daily life.

Pushing yourself up.
Stabilizing your arms.
Feeling stronger overall.

Do you notice weakness more in pushing… or pulling movements?

Most people rush through bicep curls.

We slow them down.

Way down.

On the Power Plate, we use isometric holds:
• Elbows stable
• Controlled position
• No swinging
• Constant tension

Because holding creates a different kind of stimulus.

More muscle engagement.
More control.
More connection.
And the vibration amplifies it.

This isn’t about momentum.

It’s about intentional strength.

Have you ever tried holding a position instead of moving through it?
