Episode Details

In this episode of the Strong After 50 podcast, I talk about the connection between longevity, consistency, and functional fitness as we get older. I share why I believe strength training and mobility should be a priority, especially if you want to stay active, capable, and healthy.

I also get into joint health and flexibility, and the simple mobility work I think makes the biggest difference, including areas like the thoracic spine and ankles. These are the sorts of things that can help you move better, feel better, and keep training properly.

I touch on HYROX preparation as well, and my view on how to train for it without overdoing it. For most people, I think the focus should be on building a solid running base, doing the right interval work, and getting strong enough to handle the demands of the event rather than constantly trying to simulate race day.

More than anything, this episode is about taking a long term approach to health and fitness. I’m a big believer in getting the basics right before chasing expensive supplements or every new fitness trend that pops up.
