How should our training change or evolve as we age?
Is it time to hang up the old lifting shoes and take up stamp collecting?
Or can we still get in the gym and get after it?
Well if you’re over 40 (or getting there faster than you’d like), then this is the episode for you!
In this week’s podcast, we’re going to cover a ton of concepts to help you stay strong, lean and athletic well into your 40’s and beyond.
Whether it’s dialing in your training, dialing in your recovery, or optimizing your mental health and mindset, I guarantee you’ll take a thing or two away from this episode.
