Why Her Gym Schedule Outranks Soccer Practice (with Amanda Rand) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Four years ago, Amanda Rand answered a Facebook ad, then said "I don't have time" — three times. Maria kept calling. Today Amanda is a 5 a.m. regular who went from not being able to do a single sit-up (after two C-sections and a spinal fusion) to knocking out 20 push-ups from the floor. Amanda, a teacher and mom of two, joins Bobby and Maria to talk about why she stopped putting herself last: losing both parents young, the gym schedule that lives on the family fridge calendar, monthly mental hea
Stop Leaving the Gym Exhausted. Do This Instead. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ten years of coaching adults over 40 boiled down to the tips that actually change how you feel: why you need to breathe when you stretch, why you should never train through pain, why leaving the gym wrecked is a mistake, and why two or three strength sessions a week beats six. Bobby and Maria walk through the underrated rules they run Big Day Fitness on, including the "battleship, not a canoe" way to think about your core, and close with the one piece of advice each would give their younger self

Read excerpt
He's one of the best-known real estate agents on the South Shore — and two years ago, Billy D was out of shape, frustrated, and had already quit every gym he'd ever joined.

What we cover: - Why a guy in his early 50s who never trained finally started, and st

Read excerpt
She turned 65, hurt her shoulder, and typed "gym for older people" into Google. What Ellie Hickey found instead got her back on the water — rowing out of Cohasset Harbor at 66, pressing 25 pounds overhead with the arm she once couldn't raise, and winning the gym's body composition challenge she was nervous to even weigh in for. Bobby and Maria talk with Ellie about strength training after 60, her husband's comeback from bypass surgery, four generations of an active family, and why her plan is si
"Movement Is a Privilege": A 33-Year Nurse on Getting Strong After 50 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Susanne Bloom joined Big Day Fitness in Norwell about five months after losing her husband. One year later, she's down 10+ pounds, up 2 pounds of muscle, sleeping through the night, and rowing every Saturday. Bobby and Maria talk with Susanne — a nurse of 33 years and a founding member of our Duxbury location — about starting over after five years as a caregiver, why she calls movement a privilege, and how small group training rebuilt her strength and her social life on the South Shore.
