Lift for muscle. Jump for bone density. Sprint for metabolic health. Things we hear a lot about these days. Things I’ve been emphasizing on this platform and in my work for over 4 decades. Doing those things is nothing new. It’s just the way we’ve been thinking about it lately which may have experienced a slight focus shift. Lifting weights,…
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.

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.

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…

What does it really mean to be Hard to Kill? I end up touching on this with a lot of members in The Lifetime Athlete App during our Personal Coaching Consultations.

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…
Everybody’s talking about longevity. I always strive to be a voice of reason. I try to offer a balanced and sensible perspective on most subjects. Drawing a hard line in the sand and using terms like always and never, as they apply to exercise selection and performance, is something about which we need to be cautious. I want to respond…

When you combine cycling and locomotion you get cyclomotion. Or biking and hiking. Or riding and running. You get my drift. These types of workouts, or play, or competition, can take on many forms. Through the 80’s and 90’s, I did dozens of duathlon events. Some were run-bike-run. Others were bike-run or run-bike. Often, in triathlon training, you did 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…

I thought this would be an interesting title for today’s discussion. A unique perspective, perhaps, but there is indeed LIFE in the fast lane. If you’re like me, you’re thinking about The Eagles’ 1976 mega-hit Life in the Fast Lane. But our exploration has nothing to do with the drug and party scene. We’re actually talking about speed. Training for…
Now here’s a great topic! Ironically, it’s one which applies less to our TLA community than it does to the general population. Nonetheless, let’s explore with equal parts curiosity and reason. This will be a rambling conversation with the goal of neither informing nor convincing you…it’s simply intended to be food for thought. Depending on your historical perspective or favorite…
Admittedly, I struggled with the title for this article. I thought about “The Glory of Summer” and “Launching into a Spectacular Summer” among several other options.

There are practically innumerable ways you can classify training. A lot of times the manner in which you describe your training is dependent upon your goals, or where your mind is in the moment.

A term you hear occasionally is “What’s your WHY?” It’s often used by motivational speakers (even if you’re Matt Foley living in a van down by the river). I’d like to pose a different question in today’s brief post: What’s YOUR Olympics? The Olympics are a celebration. Human potential. Competition. Sportsmanship. National pride. Worldwide community. The current, 33rd Olympiad, is…
Episode 360! You could say we’ve come full circle. It’s fitting that this is a Mail Bag or Listener Q & A episode. A discussion on positive self and group talk, rest and recovery, interval versus repetition training, heat, hydration, electrolytes…and more! This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete App. Available on the App Store and Google…
The Olympics will be happening soon. Citius, Altius, Fortius – or Faster, Higher, Stronger – will be exemplified. Today’s post will be addressing the Citius component. Speed. At TLA, we value speed as one of the 5 Capacities of Athleticism, or human performance. Along with strength, power, agility, and endurance, speed is an essential item in the lifelong peak performer’s…

This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete App. Available on the App Store and Google Play. It’s the ultimate fitness for life app for the evolving human! Workouts. Nutrition. Education. Community. The…
The entire platform at TLA is dedicated to maxing out health, performance, and longevity. Rooted within this focus are a number of first principles. And among those are strength and hypertrophy. Both matter. They are complementary. And they are to some degree inseparable. Strength is the ability to produce force, and it’s usually quantified in maximal amounts. Hypertrophy is muscular…
We’ve done 2 episodes in The Summer Longevity Training Series. The first show was on training for strength in the older athlete, and the second one covered power. A number of listeners reached out and asked some great questions on those topics. There is an art form in training the older athlete, and we’re getting a lot of it right…
This week the topic in our community is Power Training. Specifically, as part of the Summer Longevity Training Series on The Lifetime Athlete Podcast, we’re talking about how to safely and effectively develop and maintain power in the older athlete. This is an interesting subject because power is, relatively speaking, poorly understood and often overlooked in fitness and longevity circles.…
Next up in our Summer Longevity Training Series is a conversation regarding Power Training for Older Athletes. Power is the ability to sustain high output and it’s essential for competitive or recreational athletes and serious fitness enthusiasts. Let’s define power, discuss it, and consider how you can implement it for best results in performance and longevity. This podcast was brought…
This is a fantastic topic. It’s cornerstone content here at TLA. We’re kicking off the Summer Longevity Training Series. Utilizing resistance training to effectively, and safely, build strength and muscle mass in mature athletes and fitness enthusiasts…is an absolute art form. In Episode 356 of The Lifetime Athlete Podcast, I discuss the literature and my experience concerning this subject. A…

May Day! Multiple meanings to that term and we’re kicking off the Power Training Block. This is a great opportunity to gain an appreciation for RPE and RTT. In other words, Rate of Perceived Exertion and Readiness to Train should work together in the Lifetime Athlete. Learn all about it! This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete…
The title of this post is phrased as a question. The answer to the query of how many ways you can be a Lifetime Athlete is perhaps infinite. Literally, there are many, many forms that a vigorous, vital, robust and athletic life can take. This week we profiled a number of lifelong peak performers on The Lifetime Athlete Podcast. I’ll…
Today I had the privilege of visiting with Lauren Hurst, the author of North of Forty…Inspiring Stories of Older Athletes.

This document provides a relatively succinct overview of how we do things at TLA. Historically, I’ve made this available to anyone in our community as a downloadable PDF (that will continue). However, since this guide has been recently revised, I wanted to post it here on the Blog as well is in the App so it’s easy for any team…
Now this is a post I’ve really been looking forward to writing. As the title states…The Lifetime Athlete App is Live!

My mission has always been to guide people toward the highest levels of…

As opposed to commenting about the Bermuda Triangle or B-rated movies…this is a little op-ed piece I’ve been wanting to put together for quite some time. My version of the Devil’s Triangle involves over 4 decades of experience and observation in athletic and fitness training. It’s a story of temptation, seduction, success, and calamity. Actually that last statement sounds like…
If you ask “How to Train for Longevity,” some might say it’s easier said than done. But I would say it’s actually relatively easy if you follow the suggestions in this episode. This is an answer to a very frequently asked question. This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete Coaching and Training Services. Our focus is helping…

No matter what your life pursuits may look like, the objective is the same for all of us…keep doing what you love for as long as you can! This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime…
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Regarding today’s topic, a few thousand words can paint an amazing picture. I recently had a great conversation with Lifetime Athlete Dennis Rackers on The Lifetime Athlete Podcast. Dennis is 69 years young, a backcountry hunter, and he carries excellent muscle mass on his frame at 16% bodyfat. His maximal oxygen uptake…
Wow! Episode 324 (I accidentally introduced the show as #323) of The Lifetime Athlete Podcast features an engaging conversation with Lifetime Athlete Dennis Rackers. Dennis is 69 years young and we discussed his recent VO2max test and DEXA scan results, as well as principles of training, specific exercises and injury management.

Our focus is helping you to achieve peak athletic performance in any sport or fitness pursuit…fine tune your body composition to get lean, healthy, shredded,…
This is a little op-ed piece that I’ve been wanting to get out for a while. The topic has been on my mind practically forever but I don’t think I’ve ever stated my position quite this way. The care and feeding of the optimized human requires more than just nutrition, although that is very important. The model I’ve developed, which…
It’s Speed Week! This week the featured topic at The Lifetime Athlete is SPEED. I’ll be doing a daily podcast (on all the major podcast platforms) July 24-28 with some bonus video and article content. Today’s post will set the stage and highlight the week’s schedule. Speed is one of the 5 Capacities of Athleticism. Along with strength, power, agility,…

A lot of thought. A considerable volume of study. Extensive experimentation. Many conversations. That’s what went into today’s topic. We are of course going to be discussing the Ultimate Anti-Aging Workout! Right off the bat, I’ll admit that the title is a bit sensational. We are all aging. No doubt about it. Can’t deny it. But are there things we…
I think I’ll be able to keep this one relatively brief. Yet, however succinct this message may be, I believe it to be of critical importance for our community. I was in a performance coaching meeting with one of my amazing clients the other day. After we dissected some workout programming, examined a few key performance indicators (KPI’s), and made…
This is a piece I’ve wanted to put out for a long time. I’ve been thinking and studying around the topic for quite a while. You’re going to be getting my opinion on the 5 best resistance exercises for the ever-evolving athletic human. [Don’t care to read? Have a listen! Also available on all the major podcast platforms!] First I…

An article and video will also soon be available. This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete Coaching and Training Services. Our focus is helping you to achieve peak athletic…
Probably a better way of saying it is “be thoughtful when selecting your sport or primary fitness pursuit.” This will take a little explaining but I believe you’ll find it an interesting topic. Whenever I’m working with my online coaching clients, we do some initial assessments to assist with program design. We consider goals, injury and health history, schedule, space,…
Howdy, y’all! June is here and that means several things. We are heading into our second and final month of the Power Block. And, the outdoor season kicks off nationwide! I’ll provide a little more information about both of the those points below. The Power Block is awesome. Power is a specific entity in the Lifetime Athlete (you). But it…
Not long ago I conducted a community query here at TLA. I asked 3 questions. A lot of you responded and the answers are contained in this episode. This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete Coaching and Training Services. Our focus is helping you to achieve peak athletic performance in any sport or fitness pursuit…fine tune your…
How ya doin’? I hope the answer is great, fantastic, or sensational! I’ve been enjoying the opportunity to engage with so many of you in a variety of manners.

I think you’ll find this episode very thought-provoking as well as quite helpful in your own training and athletic pursuits. This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete Coaching and Training Services. Our focus is helping you to…
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article entitled “CrossFit vs. Hyrox vs. Spartan…Who is the Fittest?” That post was very well-received and it’s been one of my most popular to date. In the article I compared the different fitness competitions and identified the types of athletes that tend to do best at each discipline. All-around fitness is an…
Hi guys…here’s a short post to share what I’ve been thinking, and maybe to get you thinking also. These days we hear so much about Zone 2 cardio and all its attributes. But I think there is a tendency to overlook or bypass Zone 1 in the presence of all the recent chattah. So I guess before we can distinguish…
This episode is sort of a year-end report. I discuss some of the things that were highlights in 2022 and give a sneak peak into a few projects coming in 2023. Thanks for listening and enjoy! This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete Coaching and Training Services. Our focus is helping you to achieve peak athletic performance…
I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to call this post, so it is indeed a report from TLA HQ! Technically, every post I write comes out of the headquarters of The Lifetime Athlete so I guess that’s pertinent. I’ve worked with a couple clients in Europe and South America so I can literally say I’m writing from the…

Choosing the right exercises for YOU is what it’s all about. Exercise selection is a science as well as an art form. In this episode of The Lifetime Athlete Podcast, I cover many of the considerations in exercise selection that can help you to avoid injury and achieve better results. Enjoy! This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime…
I’m always thinking about how to select the best exercises for a given situation. I’m referring to what you do in your workout program. This runs the gamut from choosing movements that can help to correct deficiencies, to exercises that can embellish your natural gifts, or to motions that are “sports-specific.” Your conditioning program includes the assortment of exercises that…
Your mileage my vary…and so will mine. This episode of The Lifetime Athlete Podcast delves into the topics of athletic fitness and athletic longevity from two interesting perspectives. First…how can you get the best mileage out of your body over your lifespan? Second…how does the ability to run one mile relate to that first question? This podcast was brought to…
Your mileage may vary. So will mine. That’s an interesting statement with which we are all familiar. Those automobile ads making such proclamations are so common, but it’s also helpful to think about the mileage we get out of our bodies. I’m going to talk about mileage and the human body in two specific ways today. In a very general…
Lately I’ve been in a rabbit hole studying longevity versus quality of life, and comparing performance to basic functional abilities. I’ve been examining the available literature on these topics as well as trying to be an observant human in the midst of every person in my circle existing as a case study. The research is quite interesting to say the…

This episode discusses some interesting statistics and is filled with tips and suggestions to make you Hard to Kill…on the playing field and in the game of LIFE! This podcast was brought to you by The Lifetime Athlete Coaching…
Recovery is indeed magic. It’s the critical and often missing link in many peak performance programs. How to structure training, when to use high workloads, and how to fill in the time between big workouts most effectively are some of the topics covered in this episode. This is a must-listen for any serious fitness enthusiast or competitive athlete who wants…
A movementsmith is someone who owns position and has mastery of motion in every direction. He or she is the epitome of graceful, artistic, and poetic movement which is economical, efficient, and effective. One of my missions is to be a movementsmith and to help everyone else do the same. When you are a movementsmith, 3 things are going to…

Yesterday was WhipperSnapper Wednesday. That was the theme of the daily email (The T2 eBlast!) that goes out to our Training Tribe members. The message was Get. Younger. Today. That was no joke and the tips and motivation the members received related to the training we are doing this month. We are in the Strength Training Block and we’re working…
The Lifetime Athlete Training Tribe is going full bore. T2 is closing out the year in strong fashion. Actually, that’s agile fashion as we are finishing up month 1 of 2 in the Agility Block. 2022 looks amazing as we add a number of new programs and products. Exciting new programming in our Annual Training Plan which balances the 5…
Hello everyone and I hope this day finds you feeling great and crushing goals! Today’s post is in response to some great feedback and questions I’ve recently received. Folks have asked “How can I train to prepare specifically for an upcoming surgery, what can I do to maintain at least some of my conditioning on both the front and back…
Or…to add to the title, today’s topic is not only to look younger than the number on your driver’s license — but to feel and perform that way as well. Our goal is (or should be) to make our physiological age a lower number than our chronological age. It all comes down to one key point. Youthful vitality is exemplified…
The Reaper is out there. He is coming for everyone. Eventually, he’ll get all of us. But you have some say in how it all goes down. You can go out on your own terms. There are choices we can make. We can choose to live a healthy, high-performing lifestyle and maintain wellness over a potentially longer and certainly higher-quality…
What’s the right exercise dosage? How much is enough for health and performance maintenance? What’s the upper limit when going after peak performance? These are the questions I address in today’s episode. We’ll distinguish the difference between the Minimum Effective Dosage and the Maximum Absorbable Dosage with exercise, training, and play!
Health, Longevity, and Peak Performance can actually coexist! Yes, you can have it all — if you use your instinctive wisdom to meld science and common sense. Training intelligently, by understanding the relationship between work and recovery, and balancing lifestyle factors, is the key to your success. Don’t fear intensity, but know how to apply it wisely and in the…
Getting the right amount of movement, or more specifically the proper mix of general daily activity and specific exercise — that research proves to support health and longevity — doesn’t have to be a mystery. In this episode, PK and I break down the movement requirements for creating an optimally healthy human beast. We provide a simple recipe that can…
I’m in the business of helping people to seek and achieve peak performance. I love training others and myself for the highest athletic outcomes. But a lot of my clients start their journey toward peak performance at a point where they just want or need to get healthy first. They have to learn to eat right, sleep well, and to…
I recently had the outstanding opportunity to visit with Darren Schmidt, D.C., who is the director of the Nutritional Healing Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Darren emphasizes nutrition as the most powerful tool in health restoration and maintenance. Here are some of the highlights of what turned out to be an empowering and inspiring conversation: Health and healing are dependent…

Getting the most out of your training, maximizing your health, and achieving peak performance are worthy but challenging goals.

We discuss some of the key traits of peak performers and offer some suggestions to help you get more out…
Kicking Ass is a term that each of us can relate to in one fashion or another. In Lifetime Body terminology, it is not just the act of getting things done — it is the reality of efficiently and effectively achieving high levels of outcomes across every category in which you participate in life. Some would say you are “crushing…
Kicking ass for life means kicking ass in life and at life. It’s the pursuit and attainment of ultimate wellness, peak performance, and maximum longevity. It’s kicking the ass of adversity, self-doubt, and negativity. What everyone really wants, and truly deserves in this life is to do our best with accomplishments and contributions. This show talks about the basics of…
How we go about our training for health, fitness, athletic performance, and longevity are great topics of debate these days. Are you a bubble boy who goes easy all the time and fears hard effort? Or are you a warrior princess who slashes and burns every workout in full-crush mode? Humor aside, there is probably a place for both of…
In this episode, PK & I discuss the concept of biohacking, or combining biology with technology to achieve better living through science. We look at the term as a whole and offer a few simple tips in each of the 5 TLB categories to help you make your 2019 spectacular.
It’s kinda like “Car Talk” if you ask me. Does meat consumption make you aggressive, lower your IQ, and identify your political orientation? Or does eating rice crackers and lettuce make you irritable and give you the right to be critical of others? Dietary choice is indeed a potentially meaty subject. Debate has gone on for decades, if not centuries…
Last week we talked about Superfoods, and one of them was meat. We received a number of responses and several of these were unfavorable. In fact they were downright mean and nasty. People hating on meat, on meat eaters, and on me! The problem was that most of their comments were misinformed and revealed an incomplete understanding of the science.…
Happy New Year! I hope your 2018 was utterly amazing and your 2019 has kicked off in an incredibly spectacular fashion. An FAQ that I often hear is “What are your top 10 or 20 foods?” Obviously, such a list can take many forms based on any number of criteria. It can vary from season to season, and certainly be…
