Respect

Xinmin Yang, at 75, shows us what true discipline and dedication can do. Instead of slowing down with age, he continues to push boundaries, staying fit and strong by maintaining an active lifestyle. Running and lifting weights well into his 70s, he proves that age is no barrier to health and fitness. If you’ve ever thought about slowing down as you get older, think again.

Staying active isn’t just for the young; it's for everyone who’s willing to put in the work. As we age, our bodies may require a different approach to training, but the results can still be just as impressive. The key is consistency and tailoring your workouts to suit your needs while challenging your limits.

Discipline is the real secret to staying youthful. Whether you’re in your 30s or 70s, the choice to stay fit can transform your body and mind, just like it did for Xinmin Yang. Keep pushing yourself and don’t let age be an excuse. 🏃‍♂️🔥

Storms come, but don't last forever! what matters is how you react and how you pick yourself up from it!
Have the mentality of Thriving and not just surviving because You are not just a survivor you are a Thriver.
This past weekend's hike on another new trail was fun and peaceful now Let's have a great week!

First time hiking in December! Got to take the good weather days when they're here. I usually take off the winter months but things will be different now. Why not try something new... There's always snowshoeing too!

One thing I try to implement with each client is understanding what type of activity they enjoy. Whether it's walking, hiking, biking, pickleball, swimming or other recreational sports. We try to choose things you not only enjoy doing but are more likely to continue doing. Developing a habit of consistency leading to improved and better outcomes on your fitness journey

One big mistake I see on this movement are people flaring the elbows out. Turning it into an awkward shoulder press! Focus on keeping those arms elbows internally rotated (inward) if your aiming for building and shaping the triceps and have the elbow joint as your Axis of rotation!

I have some online training openings through my fitness app where we conduct check ins and I monitor your program and you do the workouts on your own time!

Here is an example of an exercise tutorial video I created edited and programmed into clients workouts! I have hundreds of these leading me to effectively train and Coach people straight from their home or from any gym they have access too.

The trails I found were too muddy and snowy!

But we don't let that stop us from getting a run-in. My first decent jog/run since that 30k race a month ago. Had a good deload rest because it did hurt my feelings and kick my ass😝! But now back at it with a good 5.25 MI down in 55 minutes still slowpoke haha

A good run and cardiovascular health will help ease your stress and anxiety levels along with weight training, some of the best medicine there is!

Sometimes you have to settle for a city run.
And that's ok...

you do not get what you want out of life, you get what you deserve...
I'm Finally off from a good week at work and hit chest but practicing back bodybuilding poses I haven't done in years and you never really know how stiff you are until you get in certain poses that you haven't done in almost a decade.

Posing is harder than it looks, when I competed we always do it after hard weight training workouts. The intense pain and burn you get from squeezing a muscle hard AF for 15-25 seconds can be pretty painful 😂 it hurts so good, try it. We practice this way for efficient posing on stage, and to push the blood through the working muscles in an isometric state that brings out more muscle definition and cuts. There's always science to it!

And As you know pain is the touchstone of GROWTH

One of my favs for Buns of Steel!
This unilateral dumbbell hip thrust done in an ipsilateral fashion!
Great for stability and balance as well while focusing on one butt cheek.
My ass was on fire after these!
Enjoy...
