Hey Reader - Over the last few years, I’ve worked with hundreds of people 40+ who are training hard but still struggling with things like: Shoulder pain during pressing or overhead movements Poor posture and rounded upper back Tightness and clicking in the joints Limited range of motion when lifting In most cases? It’s tight, unstable shoulders holding them back. Here’s the good news: You don’t need an hour of rehab exercises or a bunch of complicated routines. A focused 8–10 minute daily...

I’ve been swinging kettlebells for almost 20 years. I’ve trained with just about every piece of equipment you can imagine—barbells, machines, sandbags, you name it. But I always come back to kettlebells. And here’s why: They burn fat fast. Kettlebell workouts combine strength and cardio in a way that works. You build muscle, improve conditioning, and torch calories all in one go. You don’t need much gear. For example, the challenge I’ve got starting soon? You only need one kettlebell. That’s...

Centuries ago, elite warriors used static holds, breath control, and intentional movement to build strength, power, and resilience—often without lifting a single weight. They trained to be battle-ready using principles derived from martial arts, yoga, and strength disciplines long before the invention of barbells. That same style of training—grounded, controlled, and brutally practical—is at the heart of Warrior Flow Isometrics. This is my 28-day program designed to help you: Build lean,...

About six years ago, around this time of year, I was deep into training for my first Spartan Ultra race. I’d done a bunch of Spartan races before, but this one was the big goal—the one on my bucket list. The Ultra is a 50 K race (approximately 31 miles). They hold them in different locations all around the world, but the specific one I was preparing for was located in Lake Tahoe. High elevation, steep terrain, and around 60–70 obstacles along the way. Walls, monkey bars, sandbags, farmer...

When I first picked up a weight at age 14—nearly 30 years ago—it was all about performance on the football field. I wanted to get bigger, stronger, faster. Then, in my 20s, the goal shifted: look good, fill out my sleeves, turn some heads. By my late 30s, the priorities changed again. These days, it’s about staying strong and athletic without wrecking my joints. It’s about moving well, feeling good, keeping my heart healthy, and having the energy to show up every day. Kettlebells have been a...
