Did you know that getting huge and jacked could actually shorten your life?
It’s true. This is largely because the more mass you carry, the more strain you place on your cardiovascular system—whether that extra mass is muscle or fat. In fact, muscle demands even more blood flow than fat, increasing the workload even further on your heart.
If longevity is a priority, focus on getting strong, but also staying lean, as it reduces stress on your heart, while making you look more muscular at the same time. Shift your mindset to enhancing overall physical capacity like strength, endurance, and mobility. And speed up your lifting sessions so that your heart rate stays elevated for better cardiovascular benefits.
If you’re ready to put these principles into action, check out the Ageless Warrior Challenge 2.0. Here’s a sneak peek at Day 1 of the program:

new “Ageless Warrior” Kettlebell Workout
Have you ever thought about the specific qualities that could help you feel great as the years go by, like an “ageless warrior”?
I personally think these qualities would include:
— Being strong enough to do things – like I recently helped my mom with moving a storage unit, and I was very thankful I had the strength (and endurance) to move heavy stuff for a few hours
— Having the cardio endurance to do things – like the moving help described above, or maybe playing a game of pickup b-ball with the kiddos, or walk up a few flights of stairs without getting gassed
— Having flexibility and moving well – so that you can feel reasonably pain-free when you get up in the morning and go about your daily activities etc
— Being at a healthy weight – helps with all of the above, with self-confidence, health, and much more
That’s EXACTLY why I’m putting together this brand new “Ageless Warrior” Kettlebell workout, and I want you to join. More info on the page linked below:
