If I Were Starting Training Again at 40

About this episode

Archie Cunningham discusses how to approach training at 40 by focusing on sustainable habits rather than intensity.

If I were starting training again at 40, I wouldn’t chase intensity. I’d chase weeks I could repeat. In this episode, I break down what I’d focus on, what I’d ignore, and why three simple habits matter more than heroic workouts. If you want to train in a way that still works ten years from now, this is where to start.
