How To Get Moving More
September 08, 2021 07:45 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MBOur bodies are built to move. Yet, many of us barely move at all on a daily basis. Sure, we walk to the car, drive to the office, park close to the door, take the elevator and then sit at our desks all day with an occasional stroll to the break room or bathroom. Then we reverse the process, get home, plop down on the couch, go to bed and start all over the next day. But that’s not really active movement. Regular movement helps our bodies and brains stay healthy and fit. You don’t need to tra...

How My Training Has Changed As I’ve Aged
August 11, 2021 09:00 - 30 minutes - 36.2 MBAs we get older our bodies change and we need to think about how that will effect our exercise and workouts. I have personally experienced this in the past 31 years as I've gone from a young newlywed at age 25 to a 56 year old celebrating 31 years of marriage. Over those years I have been consistently exercising and have noticed a number of areas that I have had to adapt and adjust. I talk about each of these areas and how I have adapted my training to allow me to stay strong and fit as I g...
Lifespan vs Healthspan And Why It Matters
August 04, 2021 09:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBIf you care about living a long and healthy life, the word Healthspan should be top of mind. The idea of living longer, while also having good health, is what distinguishes healthspan from lifespan. Currently the average lifespan is 79 years but the average healthspan is only 63 years. That's a significant number of years that people are living but not healthy. Reducing the incidence of major disease, good nutrition and building our bodies and brains can all help increase the amount of time w...

One of the best things we can do to improve our lives, both physically and mentally, is get in the habit of moving on a regular basis. Research has shown that frequent moderate to vigorous “ground-contact” activities like walking, jogging/running increases our motor control, builds our muscular and cardiac capacity, and fortifies our brains. This episode explores the evolutionary importance of movement and how regu...

July 21, 2021 14:53 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MBHow long will you live? Probably longer than you think. Because of this you will want to plan on living a long life and do what you can, starting today, to make that long life as good as possible. Don't Underestimate If you're alive while you're reading this (hopefully you are!), chances are that you will most likely live longer than you think.
