The HAPPY HEALTHY STRONG PODCAST Oak Strength

Strength training is essential for those over 40 to maintain active, healthy lifestyles. Strength training not only helps prevent injury, but also increases muscle mass and bone density. As we age, our muscles and bones naturally become weaker, making it more important than ever to strength train. 

By engaging in regular strength training exercises, individuals can improve balance and coordination, as well as reduce their risk of osteoporosis and falls. Not to mention, strength training is also great for improving moods and increasing energy levels. With age comes wisdom, and with that wisdom should come knowledge about the power of strength training in maintaining health, quality of life and longevity. 

Strength training can be seen as an investment into your future - and it’s one that pays off in the long run.  By starting or continuing a strength training program, individuals over 40 can look forward to healthier bodies, better physical function and improved overall well-being.

Coach Adam sits down with the founder of Urban MVMNT - Stu Brauer!

Stu built Urban MVMNT through years of seeing what is wrong with the fitness industry. So much of fitness over the past decade has been heavy, harder, and faster. Stu took the opposite approach to get better results!

At Urban MVMNT, they base all their training and programming around TEMPO training and perfecting form. Their tempo training requires members to pause and "slow-motion" many of their movements. Turns out racing training might not be the best way to get stronger and feel better!

Stu discusses all the pros of how SLOWING down your strength training can have huge dividends!
