Is Your Circle Getting Smaller?

The other day I was walking my street and a woman clearly in her 70’s was dragging her trashcan up the hill. The hill was steep, but she was struggling a lot.

My brain went where it tends to- could she have been in a better place if she’d have strength trained? And look, I don’t know this woman or her history and I’m not here to act like I know her specific story.

When I think about the average American over 50, I think about their quality of life. How limited or able are they to live a full life based on their health, strength, fitness…

Is their CIRCLE getting smaller? Are they slowly losing their freedom to move around in the world and do what they want specially because of their level of conditioning?

The best possible life is one where you’re able to do anything you want and you’re not limited by strength, balance, conditioning, etc.

The worst outcome is that you slowly lose strength, slowly become more limited, and slowly give up on the things you LOVE most in life because of fear and/or inability.

If you want to keep your circle as wide as possible….you have to start that process now (no matter what your age) and get to the high end of your ability asap.

It is never too early (or late) to invest in this! Yes, it’s easier when you’re young. But I have countless clients who’ve come in and completely reclaimed their physical abilities decades after the aging process started.

🥅 People’s quest to fitness often starts with a goal or emotion, so share with me if you will—> what’s the biggest thing you want to do well into your later years that you’re most motivated by??? Let me know!

Story time: an abridged version of how 39 minute workout came to be.

This program is NOT for you…if the only thing you value is “quick fat loss”.

I don’t support it. I don’t teach it. I almost never see it work.

Sometimes people do a trial with us and then say “I didn’t lose any weight this month”.

And while i totally understand your need for results, this statement suggests some things I’m not comfortable with:

Impatience
Quick over quality
Short-term success above real, long lasting results

And I just can’t sell that, because it goes against what I teach and believe.

If you watch my members and the stories I share, what you see that sticks out is that they fall in love with the program and they stick with it for years!

They value strength over being skinny. They value effective fat loss that lasts. They value how they look and feel over doing things the easy way. I understand that isn’t for everyone.

So at 39 Minute Workout, we’ll go on teaching and promoting doing it the right way.

magine having disturbed sleep, negative thoughts that naw at you…and then you find relief!?!

This is a quote from one of my newest clients after just a few acupuncture sessions. I truly wish more people understood what acupuncture can do for sleep, stress, negative thought and emotions.

We treat and train a ton of women going through heavy, emotionally challenging lives- so much to handle and hold together, a body that’s gripping at you, and symptoms spinning off and effecting your quality of life and happiness.

I know acupuncture can seem to foreign in our western minds. We’re used to seeing a doctor, running a test and taking a pill or getting surgery.

But for most of what ails us, that’s overkill and/or totally unnecessary.

So where do we go for mental health, sleep and energy? I say if you haven’t tried acupuncture, this is where you start.

My wife, Abby, and I have been treating clients since 2005. We take insurance and work in our wellness center right in the same building as our gym.

You can click the link in my story to book a free consult or fill out your insurance info for us to verify! Or DM me if you don’t see the link.

We can help you improve your sleep, mood energy and quality of life!

In todays episode, we talk about how to improve your “inner age”

I hate to admit it, but we used to watch the Biggest Loser. One of the dumbest parts, if it’s possible to narrow down”, way when Dr. H would meet with participants and tell them their inner age.

Quickly, tears and drama would flow.

But in some ways, it’s not such a stupid concept. I mean, we know some things will change as we age, and we have some control over many of those things.

So let’s talk about it. As always, the Facebook gods won’t show almost anyone his post if I add a link. So take 2 seconds and type in 39minuteworkout and the .com thingy, then click on Podcast!

Why I love being strong

The last few days I’ve been in Vermont with my youngest daughter. We came up to ice fish (I’ve been coming up for about 12 years to do this). But we also did some snowshoeing which was absolutely grueling,

I love the outdoors. I’ve always been a hiker, but I really love lots of outdoor activities.

Sometimes I get worried I’ll be limited as I age. Then I head out and see folks 20-30 years older than me still kicking ass…and I know it’s possible.

This is my motivation for staying in shape!

Today, Quinn and I went snowshoeing. It was progeny 1.5-2 feet deep powder, and it was extremely tough. And you know what? I was grateful for every squat, lunge and moment of tough kettlebell cardio I’ve done.

At 48, my heart health is super important. But I’ve invested in this conditioning, so it was there when I needed it.

The key is, you can’t wait until you’re ready to go adventure to get in shape. You have to do it now.

Over 40, we’re losing muscle mass, our ability to handle peak heart rate, mobility, balance, etc. The moment to change that is now.

It might be that you’ve never been motivated to workout. Maybe the idea of fat loss never excited you, or you feel too busy.

Maybe it’ll motivate you to focus on a fun fitness goal like enjoying a special activity like I’m doing, or playing a sport like pickleball, or being able to travel?!?

Find that motivation and get to work. You’ll be so happy you did.

Any honest moment from a fitness trainer

I hate missing a workout. I’m sure folks who don’t workout think that’s some sort of sick obsession.

I must be self-absorbed. Maybe I have a “toxic relations with fitness.”

Both miss the mark.

Three weeks ago I got more of my tattoo done. It had some thick color in it, and healing it proved to be very difficult.

At the time, I was in an awesome groove with workouts. I had no inner resistance. I did something every day whether it was big or small.

It felt great. Being fit is one of my favorite feelings. It’s like a treatment that gives out to the rest of my life.

But the damn arm wouldn’t heal. It scabbed badly, and any bending would irritate it (I won’t go into graphic details).

Eventually, it healed up enough that I was able to workout. And you know what happened? I didn’t want to.

Almost every workout for the last week has felt like an obligation! All because I lost my momentum.

Fitness isn’t about motivation. It’s about habits and momentum.

Now I’ve been doing this for a long time, so I know how to get it back. But it still sucks to lose the routine.

Personally, I have to find something to get excited about. A physical goal, an emotion, an exercise I particularly love. Something has to spark my interest and get me going again!

But seriously, if you are in a routine and feeling the flow, guard that s**t with your life. Keep it going as long as you can.

If and when you fall off, take immediate action to restore it. Ask a friend to hold you accountable. Sign up and refuse to cancel. Anything.

You’ll thank me later…

Demystifying Meal Planning

When it comes to food, do you wing it? Follow a plan or set of rules? Eat poorly and feel out of control?

Five years ago, I’d have sworn I would never be the kind of person who logs or measures my food. I still don’t do it all the time. But I’ll go for a few months tracking and being really intentional about my diet.

Fitness has always been the easy part when it comes to health. I love to workout, love feeling strong, and like how I look when I lift.

Nutrition has always been the opposite. I love food, so portion control is an issue for me. I can easily overeat on a regular basis if I don’t check myself and follow a plan on and off.

But I can honestly say, following an app that has me tracking my food and hitting targets daily has taught me how to eat successfully (many of my clients follow the same app and crush it)

This is a pretty typical lunch for me. I can change it to make many different permutations. But I don’t have to think much.

Grab some veggies and stir fry them. Make a base of carbs (rice, pasta or potato usually), then add whatever protein I have. The goal is to get over 40 grams of protein in every lunch, plus lots of veggies.

I’ve seen people who can meal plan and prep for an entire week, but I find that stressful. I’d rather keep these staples in the fridge and make small changes daily.

All you need to meal plan is…

Some general rules- like a protein target, then primarily focus on fruits, veggies and fiber.

A few minutes to cook and combine it (this can be shortened by cooking protein for the week, buying pre-packed rice, and/or making containers ahead of time.

The desire to have control over your diet so you don’t run out and grab stuff that’s twice as expensive and not as good for you.

Don’t over complicate it. Have fun with it. Play with it until it’s second nature!

Do this…and you’ll have a lot more success with your diet.

So do you meal plan? Have meals you stand by that work for you? Tell me something successful about the way you eat…

Let’s state the obvious. Healthcare is too expensive

What if we took matters into our own hands.

I’m certainly not telling you to skip the doctor. But what if the bulk of our healthcare was focused on things we do outside the doctor’s office?

I coined the phrase the 3 Pillars Of Health.

Treatment- Training- Nutrition

We have so much power with these 3 tools, that many of the chronic illnesses we suffer from could be treated by good lifestyle.

I’m talking things like lifting weights, regular cardio, and proper nutrition focused on protein, plants and whole food.

We tend to be an overworked, stressed, under-rested, over-fed (the wrong stuff) under-exercised society.

You can dramatically change the direction of your health by building these things into your daily life. Not going on short term diets, obsessing over the scale and quitting.

I mean really making a working part of your life, then making a few small, consistent changes to your diet.

Now more than ever, as our healthcare gets costlier and less dependable, we need to take care of what we have control over!
