    A Friendly Nudge - Cultivating Power (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Subscribe nowAge has given me a better appreciation for the difference between strength and power. I’ve never been particularly athletic and was a pretty scrawny kid growing up. I took a couple of weight lifting classes in college but it was never a habit that stuck. I’d join a gym, work out for a few months, and then maybe go years before I’d pick up another weight.Ever since I started doing exercise snacks about 6 years ago my relationship with exercise has changed.

    A Friendly Nudge - Avoiding the Playing Not to Lose Trap (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Subscribe nowI got what was probably a well meaning comment the other day on one of my social media posts cautioning me to be careful not to hurt my tendons, ligaments, or my meniscus as the person posting reminded me that I’m not a “spring chicken.” Their timing was perfect, since earlier that morning I’d managed to offend my non-spring chicken adductors during a new exercise I was doing at the gym.I was doing a weighted cossack squat and I felt that sensation that

    A Friendly Nudge - Befriending Difficult (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Subscribe nowIt’s so easy to get complacent. About 6 years ago, I had a membership to a pretty bougie gym and sadly, I rarely darkened the door. It was about 20-30 minutes away and that was just far enough away to fuel a never ending string of excuses about not having enough time to fit in a workout.I’ve shared this story many times before, but around the time when COVID completely closed the gyms for a few months, my youngest son asked me and my oldest son to join him in a push

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Subscribe nowMy goal is to change how aging feels. One of the best ways to do that is by helping people get stronger and improving their balance and mobility. It’s easy to convince ourselves that our strength building days are behind us. Fortunately that’s not the case.One of the first things to understand is the importance of easing in and to being patient with yourself while you’re building your relationship with exercise. It’s tempting to want to jump in with both
