Trying to get lean after 45 without living on a treadmill

I’ve coached men and women over 45 for 20+ years…
The ones who win don’t do more they do what works.

Here’s the plan 👇

1. Lift 3x per week
30–45 mins
Push. Pull. Legs.
Get a little stronger each week.

2. Walk daily
8–12k steps
This is your real fat loss tool not more cardio classes.

3. Protein first every meal
30–40g
If you don’t hit protein… don’t expect results.

4. Keep nutrition simple
Eat lighter on rest days
Eat more on training days
Track a couple days per week not forever

5. Cut what’s holding you back
Alcohol
Late-night snacking
Liquid calories

You don’t need to be perfect… but you do need to be honest.

6. Act like the person you want to become
Ask yourself:
“What would a strong, fit version of me do today?”

Facebook just reminded me… 10 years ago today we ran our first Little Black Dress Challenge.

Kind of wild.

Back when:
• workouts were loud
• playlists were questionable 😂
• and somehow everyone survived my coaching

But here’s what I remember most…

👉 the confidence people walked away with
👉 the friendships that were built
👉 and the moment someone realized, “I actually did this”

That never gets old.

What is your favorite LBD moment?
Should we do another one?

04/05/2026

Remember why we’re doing all this.

Not just for abs.
Not just for numbers.
Not just for the mirror.

For this. 👇

Being present.
Having energy.
Building a life your kids get to experience not just watch you survive.

Easter hits different as a dad.

Church.
Easter egg hunts.
Good food.
Family.
Memories stacking up year after year.

That’s the real wealth.

Memories make us rich.

And Dillon… 😂

Let’s just say the kid didn’t “find” eggs…
He hunted them like it was the NFL Combine.
Or
Maybe future short stop for the Brewers
(No pressure, or dad expectations)

Full basket. Competitive spirit on 100.

Must be all those days he’s been shadowing me at the gym 💪

But this is what it’s about.

Not just raising a healthy kid…
Raising a kid who sees what discipline, effort, and consistency look like.

Because they’re always watching.

Even when you think they’re not.

So yeah… we train.

We show up.

We do the work.

Not just to look better

👉 but to live better
👉 lead better
👉 and be fully there for moments like this

He has risen. And so do we. ✝️🔥

If you’re working out but your belly fat isn’t going anywhere… read this

I’ve been coaching since the early 2000’s and help men over 45 lose fat.

So here’s what to fix starting today:

1. Stop doing long cardio sessions
45–60 min on the treadmill isn’t helping you

👉 Do 20–30 min max
👉 Focus on strength training instead

2. Stop lifting light weights
5–10 lb dumbbells won’t change your body

👉 Lift heavier
👉 Aim for 6–10 reps where it actually feels hard

3. Stop wasting time on small exercises
Curls and machines won’t move the needle

👉 Focus on:
• squats
• presses
• rows

4. Stop using the same weights every week
If nothing changes… nothing changes

👉 Add weight
👉 Add reps
👉 Push yourself a little more each session

5. Stop skipping your warm-up
Getting hurt sets you back weeks

👉 Take 5 minutes
👉 Get your body ready before you lift

6. Stop training hard every single day
More is NOT better after 45

👉 3 solid workouts per week
👉 Recover in between

7. Stop under-eating protein
You can’t build muscle without it

👉 30–40g per meal
👉 Especially after workouts

Why you feel softer, weaker, and more tired after 40 (even if your labs look fine)

I’ve coached men over 45 for 23 years and
here’s what to do starting now to fix this

1. Lift weights 2–3x this week
Keep it simple — squat, push, pull. Done.

2. Eat protein at every meal
30–40g each time. No guessing.

3. Follow ONE plan for 6 weeks
Stop starting over every Monday.

4. Walk 8–10k steps a day
Simple. Effective. Non-negotiable.

5. Train even when you don’t feel like it
That’s the difference.

6. Start now — not later
Because this doesn’t wait for you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Green Bay Packers Name Brian Stecker as Strength and Conditioning Coach
GREEN BAY, Wis. The Green Bay Packers today announced the hiring of Brian Stecker, owner and founder of Boomer Fitness (Vancouver, WA), as the organization’s new Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Stecker, a lifelong Packers fan, brings a results-driven training approach built on functional strength, durability, and elite-level athlete development. He will oversee the physical preparation of the roster as the team begins its off-season conditioning program.

“We are thrilled to welcome Brian to the organization,” said Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst. “As a lifelong fan, he understands the culture of this franchise, and his track record developing athletes speaks for itself.”

The Packers also confirmed they regret not having an internship spot available in 2005, following a now-famous handwritten letter Stecker sent directly to then-President Bob Harlan requesting an opportunity to learn inside the organization.

“Looking back, we missed a real one,” the team said in a statement. “When you see a young man write a letter like that—and then watch him walk on at UW lacrosse football team as a DB with combine numbers that were off the charts—it’s clear the fire was always there. He just missed the size. If he were four inches taller, he would’ve been a sure Division I starter at linebacker. We should’ve known.”

Despite the early setback, Stecker’s dedication to the Packers never wavered. He later moved across the country to complete 20 years of military service, then opened Boomer Fitness where he has trained athletes ranging from former Packers (including Alex Green) to a Canadian Football Player of the Year.

Stecker is expected to begin his duties immediately.

Happy April Fool’s Day.

How to Get Lean After 45 (Without Obsession)

I’ve trained thousands of one on one sessions for people over 45 here is what I found that works.

1. Set Your “Worst Week” Plan

Stop starting over every Monday.

Do this:
• Lift 2x/week minimum
• Walk 7,000+ steps daily
• Hit 150–200g protein/day

👉 Even on your worst week… you stay in the game.

2. Lift 3x Per Week

Not 6. Not random workouts. Just consistent strength training.

Do this:
• 3 full-body workouts/week (30–45 mins)
• Focus on:
• Squat or leg press
• Push (bench/DB press)
• Pull (rows/pulldown)
• Try to beat last week by 1 rep or 5 lbs

👉 Progress > variety.

3. Hit Protein Every Meal

Muscle doesn’t “stop growing” after 45… you’re just under-eating protein.

Do this:
• 30–40g protein per meal
• Add 1 protein shake if needed

👉 Protein first. Everything else second.

4. Simplify Your Eating

You don’t need a complicated diet… you need structure.

Do this:
• Eat 2–3 meals/day
• Try a 12–14 hour overnight fast
• Cut mindless snacking

👉 Boundaries beat willpower.

5. Walk Daily

This is the most underrated fat-loss tool after 45.

Do this:
• 8,000–12,000 steps/day
• 10-min walk after meals
• Walk during calls

👉 Walking = fat loss without burnout.

6. Cut the Silent Killers

It’s not your metabolism… it’s your habits.

Do this:
• Reduce alcohol (start with weekdays = zero)
• Cut sugar drinks
• Stop late-night eating
