This is a simple message about a potentially complex topic…changing versus maintaining. Essentially, what it takes to change a condition isn’t necessarily the same thing as that which is required to maintain the status once achieved. I believe there is a disconnect in popular thinking regarding this relationship. These differentiations exist in potentially many areas but training, dietary manipulation for…

Now here’s a topic to get excited about! Or frustrated. Or enraged. We’d better start off by defining the terms in the title. Aches and pains, when used colloquially, describe the familiar and annoying discomfort that practically all humans experience on occasion. Nagging irritation or sharp twinges that challenge and restrict movement. Impediments to feeling great and moving effectively. Something…
College basketball fans are in their glory this month. And rightfully so. The action is always intense, exciting, and impressive. That’s March Madness!

Let’s start off today’s message using two popular concepts. Longevity, and anti-aging. Both of these hint at our chosen topic, but neither of them quite do it justice. Longevity simply describes the condition of living a long life. Some will suggest that by default this long life needs to be relatively healthy in order to achieve its potential. But statistics…

You gotta do the stuff. At least a good chunk of it. Most of the time. If you want results. In training and rehabilitation. Magic, or at least a great outcome, does not tend to happen spontaneously.

The intersection of longevity and performance is indeed a unique subject. It’s something that we’ve focused upon for years here at TLA. And it’s inarguably the most important consideration for members of this community. In discussing this topic, we must first examine some definitions. Longevity, in its broadest sense, simply refers to length of life. And performance, in our context,…
The developmental sequence constitutes a journey we have all taken. Many of us may need to take it again (more on this later).

Recently I did a “request for a request.” A number of subscribed community members in The Lifetime Athlete App responded with questions about running, deadlifting, and stretching. Much of this stemmed by prominent thought leaders in the longevity space suggesting that these exercises should be off the table if you’re seriously trying to play the long game. To that I…

This topic comes up a lot in our App community, and it’s one that can be framed in a very specific manner. We need to consider the art form of how to get results in resistance training without getting hurt in the process. And we have to find ways to adjust the training process as we age. So, in a…

Influencer. I’ve come to despise the term as much as “biohacking.” And many of those who portray themselves as all-knowing. If one produces content – and offers products or services – in any field, authenticity is an imperative. This is especially true for any individual who is purportedly attempting to help others to experience long, healthy, and productive lives. Since…

This topic has been coming up a lot lately. A number of clients and community members have been asking whether a weight vest or loaded backpack is best for their conditioning objectives.
