Can you elaborate on the concept of designing exercise goals to combat the natural degradation of muscle as discussed in the episode The Best Moments Of Modern Wisdom (2024) and the clip Muscle Mass and Life?

When we work out and design exercise goals, we should think of the things we want to be able to do when we are old, like playing a sport or lifting up our grandkids.
