In July 2025 I will turn 60 years old. I think 60 is the new 40. After a certain age you don’t move as well as you used to. Some movements are harder to manage because of flexibility. Some are harder because of lack of strength. Some are harder because of lack of cardiovascular endurance.  It sucks to get older. 

 

But what I realized as a strength coach is that getting older has its benefits also. You can learn to move better. Avoid unnecessary injuries. And become stronger. If you listen to your body and pay attention to what it needs. 

 

Besides bone density decreasing (which means when you have an injury, you don’t recover swiftly!),  movements become more challenging, flexibility decreases, and posture suffers. 

 

When I opened Stronger and Faster in December 2015, the philosophy was to build strength through movement meaning stronger movements build real world strength.  Lifting heavy weights for one rep looks great on a video but how does it translate to everyday life?

 

Our lives are built by pushing , pulling , lifting, rotating, and carrying. These are the movement we perform daily as part of our lives. An inability to perform those movements is stressful and can lessen your quality of life. 

 

Your Move is designed for everyone.  The movements we focus on are those human movements that we do every day. The goal is to improve those movements so you can improve your life. Your Move focuses on those things we do daily with a goal of doing them better. 

 

Life has enough stress that we cannot control. Let’s control what we can. And that is taking the time to improve our quality of life by moving more and moving better. 

 

Move Better. Live Better.
