Training for LIFE 🥳😎
When we train for longevity, we are creating a solid inside-out (internal forces), ground-up (external forces) relationship, which is the foundation we build on.
If you are “older” than you feel, (especially my ex-athletes) it can be REALLY HARD not training like an athlete (because it used to work and feel great).
Understanding the difference between longevity training and athletic training is key to bridging the gap.
ATHLETES are trained for war (aka their event) and the main goal is getting them there and crushing it at any cost. If they get injured, it’s about patching them up for the event and fix it later. Break now, fix later.
LONGEVITY TRAINING is about re-building, re-wiring and cleaning up old stuff and integrating new neuromuscular patterns. It also requires the ability and/or willingness to shift expectations (things we think we need for whatever reason) and do somethings that feel really disconnected or uncomfortable (those pesky microbarriers). If you get injured, we look at that as the next thing to clear up rather than the pressure to get somewhere.
Both are hard, both earn awesome gains mentally and physically.
Athletes need some key connections to keep them winning and moving efficiently and Former Athletes need to heal, rebuild and then start having fun with new or old athletic activities.
Getting older can be a beautiful thing, understand the changes in your body, adapt your mindset, embrace the journey and get after it accordingly 💪🏼👏🏼🔥
