Wits & Weights | Evidence-Based Fitness & Nutrition for Lifters Over 40 Ep 1: Let's Get Strong Together
Welcome to the very first episode of Wits and Weights: Strength Training for Skeptics.
If you’re a skeptical, critically-minded person like me, you’ve probably gotten tired of what the modern-day so-called fitness industry has to offer, and you just want to know what actually works.
Not only that, you’re probably a busy, working professional with a full-time job or perhaps you own your own business or run several side hustles, so time is at a premium. Can you actually build a stronger, healthier body and maintain a sustainable, active lifestyle?
The answer is an emphatic YES.
Plenty of everyday folks have figured out what works in terms of exercise, nutrition, habits, mindset, and lifestyle, but there is so much information out there—even from highly respectable sources—that it can be overwhelming to distill it down to a single, focused plan that works for you.
That’s why I created this podcast.
On this very first episode, learn about my background, the importance of strength, and what you can expect in future episodes.
