15 Minutes of Strength Rise Above Performance Training®

In this (unlucky) episode I read and answer a subscriber’s question on how to train as we get older.
It is very important to maintain your strength as you age to keep your body and mind healthy. 
If I were to construct a program for a healthy lifestyle I would make sure my mindset is one of a long-term health and fitness journey which makes the details slightly less relevant as simply doing the work 5-6 days a week.
I explain why bodybuilding programming, not the exercises, might to be the best for the aging athlete and how to structure a weekly routine including daily mobility either during the morning, before your workout and/or before bed.)
Finally I will construct a program based on the activities listed and how to get it all in an be successful for the long term.

In this episode I go over how to workout by Yourself successfully, yes, there are benefits.
The two most challenging elements will be Motivation and therefore that affects Consistency which will stifle progress.
     Consistency is King/Queen! You can have low motivation but do it anyway.
Schedule your Workout during your day. 
Have a Backup Plan if things change that day. 
Have a Plan for your workouts;
    Weekly – To make sure you get in what you want to accomplish for the week
    Daily – Make sure you accomplish what you want for that session [GOALS] (go by feel). Have a workout goal for that day or workout (form, movement quality, slowing things down, breathing)
Multi-task in between; Be Productive! (Vacuum, clean, read and book, paperwork, answer an email)

It happens to all of us inevitably, the dreaded injury. Though we might not be able to participate in all the activities we were currently doing; this does not mean you can stop training all together. Remember there is a lot more that you CAN do than can’t.
In this episode I will go over a game-plan on how to work around those injuries and keep you in the game.
 
1) Honest assessment of the injury
2) Turn down the [workout] intensity and turn up the focus   
3) Work On the injury for healing and future preservation
4) Go hard on the non-injured areas
5) You should still be making progress
