Strong to Save: Your GenX Imperative to Die Harder and Later by David Emerson Frost is an informative fitness primer that doesn’t just promise physical prowess but also provides a roadmap for extending the quality and quantity of life. Drawing from his experience as a champion competitor, rowing coach, and fitness trainer, Frost presents a science-backed approach to achieving peak physical condition well into middle age and beyond. The book discusses the importance of physical strength as the cornerstone of a healthy life. Frost introduces the concept of “down aging,” whereby individuals can maintain functional strength equivalent to someone ten years younger, leading to a longer and healthier lifespan. By investing in their “physical bank” through strength training, readers are encouraged to defy the norms of aging and emerge as exemplars of vitality.
Throughout the book, the author champions incremental improvements in strength and fitness, underlining the significance of consistency, adaptation, and proper nutrition. He provides practical guidance on balanced workouts incorporating four types of human strength: Dynamic, Endured, Explosive, and Peak (DEEP). From Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s workout routine to J. J. Watt’s explosive box jumps, Frost illustrates how different types of strength contribute to overall fitness and longevity. Strong to Save examines the physiological effects of stress on the body, offering strategies to mitigate its impact through mindfulness, exercise, and adequate sleep. The book also challenges conventional health measures, advocating waist-to-hip ratios (WHR) over Body Mass Index (BMI) as a more accurate indicator of cardiovascular risk. A particularly enlightening aspect of the book is its exploration of fitness age and longevity, drawing on research from the Norwegian University’s Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG). David Emerson Frost underscores the importance of regular physical activity, proper nutrition, and lifestyle modifications in offsetting age-related decline and promoting cellular renewal. This book is nothing short of revolutionary.

Strong to Save by David Emerson Frost is aimed at helping Generation X go from “decent” to “great” and add quality years to their lifespan. Focusing on strength, Frost works with readers to help them establish fitness, sleep routines, and clean diets that will “downgrade” their ages by a decade. Readers learn ways to achieve beyond the level of their inactive peers who are of the same sex and age. The author focuses on five resistance movements, discusses stored energy and where it is located, and assists you in timing eating to make you “lighter and stronger” or “heavier and stronger.” Frost suggests exercise schedules, recovery periods, and beneficial exercises. He notes the advantages of regular sex, certain supplements or additions to your diet, and other important advice, like abstaining from smoking, to improve your chances of a long life.
David Emerson Frost has a no-nonsense approach to helping readers gain muscle and live longer. He is a fitness trainer, rowing coach, and professional trainer, and his suggestions are not only understandable but easy to work up to with perseverance. As an adaptive coach and trainer, Frost modifies workouts to help individuals who have been diagnosed with diseases like cancer and multiple sclerosis. The book made me feel like I had the advice of a seasoned trainer at my disposal. I do a lot of cardiovascular workouts and a little strength training, but Frost’s examples inspired me to work toward more defined goals in strength. The text is conversational, with nods to past songs and real and mythological heroes, and each section will motivate readers in some way. Strong to Save will benefit readers who are ready to increase their longevity through strength training, diet, and a good sleep schedule.
