    Ep. 62 HIIT After 50: Powerful Tool or Fast Track to Injury?

    Send us a text High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is one of the most powerful — and most misunderstood — training tools in modern fitness.   Done right, it can build serious conditioning, metabolic resilience, and real-world performance. Done wrong — especially for men over 50 — it can lead to burnout, setbacks, and preventable injuries.   In this episode, Coach Kevin breaks down HIIT through an Alpha Edge lens: performance-focused, age-aware, and brutally practical. You’ll learn exactly what HIIT is, why it works, who it’s for, who should avoid it (for now), and how to implement it intelligently without wrecking your joints or nervous system.   This is not hype. This is a field manual.   If you’ve been thinking about adding high-intensity intervals to your training — listen to this first.   In This Episode, You’ll Learn: What HIIT actually is (and what most people get wrong)The defining difference between HIIT and “hard cardio”Why HIIT is so effective for conditioning and metabolic healthHow HIIT improves VO₂ max, insulin sensitivity, and work capacityThe hard truth about who should not start with HIITWhy most adults never sprint again after age 30 — and why that mattersThe Alpha Edge training foundation required before adding HIITSafer conditioning entry points before true max-effort intervalsThe best HIIT modalities for men over 50 (and the riskiest)Simple, plug-and-play HIIT programming templatesHow often to use HIIT (hint: less than you think)Nervous system recovery rules most men ignoreHow to use intensity as a precision tool — not a punishment tactic  Key Takeaway: HIIT is a scalpel — not a hammer. Used strategically, it builds power and performance. Used recklessly, it builds injuries and setbacks.   📩 Have a Question or Topic Request?

    Send us a text Are you living your faith… or just going through the motions?   In this powerful Sunday episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin challenges men to take an honest look at their spiritual lives. Many Christian men today still believe — but somewhere along the way, comfort replaced conviction, routine replaced relationship, and faith cooled into something lukewarm.   Drawing on the warning to the church in Revelation and the timeless insight that faith should shape how we see everything in life, this episode serves as a wake-up call for men who want more than passive belief — men who want to live with spiritual strength, purpose, and conviction.   If you’ve felt spiritually stuck, distracted, or just going through the motions, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to turn the heat back up.   In This Episode, You’ll Learn Why faith is meant to be the lens through which you see your entire lifeHow modern culture quietly pulls men away from spiritual convictionThe sobering warning about lukewarm faith — and why it matters todayPractical ways to raise your “spiritual temperature” starting immediatelyHow to move from passive belief to active faithWhy spiritual leadership matters more than ever for men over 50  No matter where you are in your faith journey, the invitation is always open to come back stronger. Spiritual fire can always be reignited.   Share This Episode If this message spoke to you, share it with another man who needs encouragement or a wake-up call.

    Why “Normal” Cholesterol Can Still Kill You with Dr. John Osborne

    Send us a text Most men think they’re in the clear because their cholesterol numbers look “normal.”   That assumption is killing them.   Heart attacks and strokes don’t happen overnight - they’re the final result of a process that’s been quietly unfolding for years… sometimes decades. And the uncomfortable truth is this:   You can be fit, strong, and symptom-free—and still be on a collision course with heart disease.   In this episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin sits down with Dr. John Osborne, a Harvard-trained cardiologist and one of the world’s leading voices in preventive heart health, to expose what most men *aren’t being told* about cholesterol, plaque, and modern cardiac screening.   This conversation isn’t about fear.   It’s about ownership.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “normal” cholesterol numbers don’t guarantee clean arteriesHow plaque actually forms - and why it often starts decades before symptoms appearThe difference between slippery vs. sticky blood vessels (and why it matters)Why stress tests and reactive cardiology often miss the real dangerThe powerful imaging technology that can detect heart disease before it becomes deadlyHow lifestyle, blood pressure, insulin, and inflammation quietly accelerate riskWhat strong, proactive men should be asking their doctors right now  Dr. Osborne also explains why heart disease is largely preventable, why modern medicine is still playing defense instead of offense - and how men who value longevity, strength, and leadership can flip the script.   If you’re a man over 50 - and you care about being alive, capable, and dangerous for decades to come - this is a must-listen.   About Dr. John Osborne Dr. John Osborne is a board-certified cardiologist with advanced certifications in cardiology, internal medicine, lipidology, clinical hypertension, cardiac CT angiography, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology. He is the founder of State of the Heart Cardiology and ClearCardio, an initiative focused on proactive, AI-powered heart disease detection.   Dr. Osborne has trained at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, authored numerous research papers, and has dedicated his career to eliminating preventable heart disease through early detection and prevention.   Resources & Links: Website: https://clearcardio.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ClearCardio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569935527337 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearcardio/   Dr. Osborne recommends the Omron EVOLV Blood Pressure Monitor: https://www.amazon.com/Omron-Bluetooth-Wireless-Pressure-Compatible/dp/B01MRL790Q?th=1 📣 Ready to Go Deeper?

    Ep. 59 Worship Is a Weapon (Stop Fighting Like a Civilian)

    Send us a text Most men don’t realize they’re in a war.   They think they’re just “stressed.” They think they’re just “tired.” They think life is just “a lot right now.”   But what if the battle you’re fighting isn’t just physical… What if it’s spiritual?   In this Sunday episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin breaks down one of the most intense moments in the New Testament - Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16) - and shows you why worship isn’t background music…   It’s warfare.   If you’ve ever felt numb, anxious, stuck, tempted, or spiritually weak… this episode is your wake-up call.   🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why many men are living in a mental and spiritual prison and calling it “stress”The real story of Paul & Silas in Acts 16 (and why it matters right now)What it means to worship at midnight - when you’re tired, hurting, and ready to foldHow worship reorients your focus back to God and breaks the enemy’s narrativeWhy the modern church has often done a lame job teaching the power of worshipWhy worship doesn’t have to be soft, quiet, or “not for men”How biblical worship can be wild, loud, energetic, and masculineA simple 7-day battle plan to make worship a daily weapon  Worship isn’t what you do after the breakthrough. Worship is what you do to break through.   When you worship, you stop agreeing with the prison… and start agreeing with God.   🎧 Worship Resources (Find Your Sound) If worship music has never clicked for you, you might just be listening to the wrong soundtrack.   Jesus Freak Hideout (every genre imaginable): https://www.jesusfreakhideout.com   Coach Kevin’s Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1m07f31e0lInvbiL4TRcZ0   Worship is a weapon.

    Ep. 58 New Year, Same Life: Why Your Resolutions Keep Dying (And How Real Men Build Systems That Win)

    Send us a text Most men don’t fail their New Year’s resolutions because they’re lazy.   They fail because their strategy is trash.   By the end of January, motivation fades… life gets busy… and “this time will be different” turns into the same old pattern:   Start strong ➝ fall off ➝ feel guilty ➝ start over Monday.   Not this year.   In this first Alpha Edge Podcast episode of 2026, Coach Kevin is back with a hard-hitting truth bomb and a simple framework that helps men stop relying on motivation - and start building systems that win, even when real life gets chaotic.   Because goals are great…   …but goals without a system are just daydreams waiting to crash and burn.   In this episode, you’ll learn why most resolutions die, how to build standards that don’t bend, and the exact 4-part Alpha Edge framework you can use to create momentum that lasts all year.   Let’s go. 😤🔥   In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why motivation is unreliable (and why real men don’t depend on it)The “January Lie” that keeps men stuck in the same cycle every yearThe grim truth behind why most resolutions die by FebruaryWhy goals alone won’t make you disciplined, lean, or confidentThe 4-Part Alpha Edge System that doesn’t break when life gets messyThe difference between standards and “wishful thinking”How to build a minimum baseline that keeps you consistent on bad weeksThe power of triggers, routines, and keeping score like a manThe 7-Day Alpha Reset to jumpstart momentum immediatelyThe identity shift that separates men who “try” from men who execute  If you’re building strength physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, and spiritually…  You’re in the right place. 🔥 Download the FREE Guide: How to Raise Testosterone Naturally: https://go.silveredgefitness.com/alpha-edge-testosterone-guide   📩 Have a Question or Topic Request?

    Ep. 57 A Survival Guide for Men Who Feel Numb, Lost, or Burned Out

    Send us a text If you’re a man who feels like you’re drifting… disconnected… numb… or just going through the motions, you’re not alone — and you're not broken. You might just be spiritually underdeveloped in a culture that trains men to build strong bodies, sharp minds, and successful careers… while completely neglecting the inner life that actually holds everything together.   This week, we’re wrapping up our 5-part series on the pillars of strength with one of the most overlooked dimensions of masculine development: spiritual strength — and why it matters now more than ever.   Modern life leaves men overloaded, overstimulated, isolated, and spiritually depleted. Even high-achieving men can feel exhausted, anxious, and unfulfilled — not because they’re weak, but because they’re starving for meaning, purpose, and identity at the soul level.   In this episode, Coach Kevin breaks down what spiritual strength actually is, why men struggle with it in today’s culture, and how to start building it in real, practical, tangible ways — even if you’re skeptical, uncertain, or long disconnected from faith.   Spiritual strength isn’t about religion or ritual — it’s about becoming a grounded, whole, resilient man who can stand firm in a chaotic world.    ✝️ For the Skeptical, the Curious, and the Disconnected Whether you’re a committed believer, an uncertain believer, or just spiritually curious — you don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin.   Start with honesty. Start with openness. Start where you are.   You’re welcome on this journey — exactly as you are right now.   Links & Resources Mentioned: 🔥 Download the FREE Guide: How to Raise Testosterone Naturally: https://go.silveredgefitness.com/alpha-edge-testosterone-guide   📩 Have a Question or Topic Request?

    Ep. 56 Strong Men Give Thanks: How Gratitude Builds Unshakeable Faith

    Send us a text In a world wired for complaining, comparing, and constant negativity, gratitude can feel almost… unnatural. But Scripture tells us something different. Gratitude isn’t soft. It isn’t seasonal. And it’s definitely not optional.   Gratitude is a weapon. A discipline. A command. A mark of spiritual strength.   In this Sunday edition of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin breaks down how biblical gratitude shapes men into warriors of faith — not just during Thanksgiving week, but every single day of their lives.   Anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, this episode unpacks what it truly means to:   Rejoice always Pray continually Give thanks in all circumstances   …even when life feels stressful, uncertain, or downright painful.   You’ll discover:   Why gratitude is so hard in today’s culture — and why that’s exactly why we need it. Comparison, hurry, entitlement, negativity… these enemies of gratitude are real, and we’re naming them.   What the Bible actually teaches about gratitude. From the Psalms to Paul to the words of Jesus, Scripture repeatedly commands gratitude — not for God’s benefit, but for ours.   The transformative power of gratitude for men. Emotionally. Mentally. Relationally. Spiritually. Gratitude builds resilience, strengthens marriages, re-centers identity, and calms anxious hearts.   How to practice gratitude in hard circumstances. This is where real spiritual maturity shows up. Gratitude in the valley isn’t denial — it’s defiance. It’s how strong men stand firm.   The Alpha Edge 7-Day Gratitude Challenge. A battle plan for training gratitude like a spiritual muscle. Join the brotherhood of men committing to walk out daily thanksgiving with strength and intention.   Whether you’re coming off a week of celebration, stress, loneliness, joy, or anything in between, this episode will ground you, strengthen you, and remind you of the truth:   God is faithful. God is working. And strong men give thanks — in every season.   🎧 Listen now and step into the week with a new level of clarity, strength, and spiritual focus.   Links & Resources Mentioned: 🔥 Download the FREE Guide: How to Raise Testosterone Naturally: https://go.silveredgefitness.com/alpha-edge-testosterone-guide   📩 Have a Question or Topic Request?

Discover how your values shape your identity, your leadership, and your legacy.Practical Tools to Build Your Moral Muscles - You’ll walk away with simple, powerful, applicable strategies to strengthen your conviction, eliminate compromise, sharpen your integrity, and live like a man on mission.How Moral Strength Fuels Masculinity - Learn why moral strength is the engine behind confidence, discipline, leadership, and masculine authority—and why without this pillar, everything else collapses.  In a culture of chaos, confusion, and compromise, strong men stand out - not because they’re perfect, but because they’re principled.   Today, you begin building the code that will shape your character, sharpen your edge, and define your legacy.   Resources Mentioned: The Alpha Edge Battle Planner — Build your code, your mission, and your 90-day plan. 👉 Download your FREE copy here: https://go.silveredgefitness.com/battle-plan   🔥 Download the FREE Guide: How to Raise Testosterone Naturally: https://go.silveredgefitness.com/alpha-edge-testosterone-guide   📩 Have a Question or Topic Request?
