Episode notes
Train Daily and Diversify Tools
- Train every day as you age, even if it's a little movement daily.
- Use varied equipment like kettlebells, dumbbells, machines, and suspension trainers for balance and strength.
Training Priorities for 60s+
- After age 56, focus on mobility, maintaining lean body mass, and fast twitch muscle fibers.
- Mix mobility exercises with hypertrophy and explosive training like kettlebell swings and loaded carries.
Kettlebells for VO2 Max
- For kettlebells to improve VO2 max, focus on kettlebell snatches and swings for intensity.
- Use kettlebells mainly as off-season training to build strength and general conditioning, not perfect cardio.
