Consistency is one of the most important concepts I will discuss this season, because it’s the one variable that actually predicts how you age, your chance at being independent, and capable, more than any single intense workout you do on occasion.
In this episode:
Why consistency, not intensity, is the variable that actually predicts how well we age
The mile world record that just fell, and the one word Josh Kerr used to explain how he did it
Why the fitness industry can’t sell you consistency, only intensity
What changes about the cost of pushing too hard once you’re past fifty
Why a six-week layoff, due to an injury from an overly hard workout, is the real threat to your long-term fitness
The math behind decades of modest effort, beating a single extraordinary season
What it actually means to be the same person across your ordinary days
The one action I want you to commit to this month, and why it isn’t a new workout plan
Partners Mentions:
Perfect Bars: My favorite protein bar. I just sent another box to my daughter. They arrive refrigerated and need to be kept refrigerated for a reason. Natural ingredients and a great consistency and taste for a bar.
Whoosh Wellness: I receive many requests for my thoughts on peptides. I am mostly sitting on the sidelines due to the lack of long-term risk data in humans. But I have seen many patients use them during their recovery, and anecdotally report that they have helped them a lot with tendon and joint surgery recovery. Whoosh offers a platform that controls peptide quality, and they have a physician who reviews all prescriptions.
Members, below is a 50% off code for this and my other premium guides.
After 40, most people notice the same pattern: recovery takes longer, strength and power fade, body composition shifts, joints get cranky, and the training that used to work stops working. Most are told this is just aging, and there’s not much you can do.
As we age… The biology still responds. You just have to give it the right signal.
