STRENGTH
VS POWER:
STRENGTH
VS POWER:
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
STRENGTH is your ability to produce force.
It’s what allows you to lift, push, or pull something heavy. Strength comes from high muscle tension, and that tension takes time to build, which is why heavy lifts move slowly, even when you’re trying to move fast.
POWER is your ability to produce force quickly.
It’s force plus speed. Think jumping, sprinting, or catching yourself when you trip. Power requires you to generate force fast, not just a lot of it.
There’s overlap, BUT they’re not interchangeable:
- Getting stronger gives you more force to work with. That can improve power… to a point.
- But power is producing force quickly. And that “quickly” part is its own skill.
You don’t become powerful just by lifting heavier.
You become powerful by practicing moving fast under load. And for longevity, you need both.
- Strength helps you lift, carry, and tolerate load. It supports muscle and bone health.
- Power helps you react quickly, catch yourself, and prevent falls.
The bottom line: strength gives you the capacity, but power determines how effectively you can use it when it matters.
YOU DON'T NEED MORE PLYOS.
YOU NEED A PLAN.
YOU DON'T NEED MORE PLYOS.
YOU NEED A PLAN.
Most people avoid power training because no one has actually taught them how to do it well.
They’ve been told to “add jumps” or “do some plyos,” but not how to build, dose, or progress them. So they either skip it—or get hurt trying.
Power Play solves that.
Instead of random drills, we give you a clear system:
- How to start at the right level
- How to progress without overshooting your capacity
- How to move with speed, control, and intent
- How to know when you’re training power vs just getting tired
Recent research:
POWER + STRENGTH later in life
A recent study titled "Muscle Power Versus Strength as a Predictor of Mortality in Middle-Aged and Older Men and Women" (PMID 4030660) looked at ~4000 men and women aged 46-75.
When researchers looked at muscle power in this population, they found a big difference: people with the lowest muscle power were much more likely to die than those with the highest.
Specifically, low-power men had about 6 times greater mortality risk and low-power women had about 7 times greater mortality risk.
When they looked at muscle strength, the relationship was much weaker. Men with the lowest strength had ~1.6 times greater mortality risk, and women had ~1.7 times greater.
The good news?
It's not too late to do something about it!

"In 2025, I did Sarah & Laurel’s Lift For Longevity course. I’m not exaggerating when I say it changed my life, my relationship to strength training, and the way I will age. Needless to say, I am here for any course they put out. The quality is above and beyond. They are kind and smart and silly, which is so helpful when you’re learning/doing hard things! I’m not afraid of hard anymore. I’m not afraid to try new things that challenge me.
The Power Play course is my new obsession. I am thrilled to be learning about POWER. It’s going to be such a beneficial addition to my strength training routine. Sarah and Laurel make power movements fun and accessible.There’s a lot going on the world right now. Strength and power are more important than ever. My favorite session so far: Jump, Shove, and Hop. Yes, please. Jump up to fight for democracy. Shove dictators out of the way. And hop on board the powerful women train! TOOT! TOOT! Highly recommend the Power Play course. Five stars!"

"I highly recommend Power Play to anyone looking to get started with plyometrics, speed, and power!
Laurel and Sarah deliver top-notch education that empowers you to determine the right amount of intensity and volume for your needs, allowing you to progress consistently over time.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What if I have limitations?
Each exercise comes with a progression of variations, from easier to harder, so you'll be able to find the one that works for you and your body. In addition, there are many no-impact variations and movements that are a good place to start if you have concerns about introducing impact.
I hurt my knee jumping and now I'm afraid to do it again.
It's understandable that you'd feel cautious. However, we offer many regressions, including non-impact versions, that will allow you to safely work on building power.

I've been diagnosed with osteoporosis/osteopenia. Is this course safe for me to take?
Yes - with clearance from your doctor. There are ways to practice no-impact power that are safe to engage in for some people with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
It's been years since I jumped/skipped. Will this be too hard for me?
Not at all. The course is set up for anyone to participate in, whether a total novice or an experienced power exerciser.
Will this prepare me to teach power exercises to my students?
While this is not a power training certification, you will learn the essential techniques of incorporating power exercises that you will be able to then teach to your students or clients.
