For a simple example, despite the fact that my push-ups looked ok, I was in

push-up would be hard to do wrong...

their fitness and metabolic health."

Shame they couldn't find twins that took part in strength training, but not
surprising given the difficulties in finding any participants.

That looks good to me.

What I'm wondering if that it only means that people have better motor control

or at least help them if they decide to learn math?
