About this episode

Kyle Newell discusses the impact of aging on training and shares insights on staying active and healthy.

Last week, I had my knee drained and shot up with cortizone, which I am normally against because most people rely on it. I did it to help me get to my Strongman Contest which is less than a month away. I had injured it during my second training session, which was really hampering my training and everday activity. Make no mistake, I didn't stop, because one of my primary healing philosophies is to keep it moving. Well, the ordeal got me to thinking because quite a few people told me it was age, or 'you're getting older' and so on. While it is true that I am older, to me, wear and tear is a function of being in the arena, it's a matter of volume and probability. The more you play, the more likely that you are to get nicked up. In today's episode, I share with you some key insights, my views on aging and training and how to adjust while we age. Never stop playing and you will stay younger than your peers. Add fasting to that and boom! Anyways, let me know what you think. P.S. - FAT LOSS FRUSTRATION??? Check out my upcoming, 6 week, Fat Shredder Challenge. I teach you and Coach you, week by week, with the most advanced, yet simple fat loss process, that I personally follow. No more…
