Time is running out to get “The Kettlebell Revolution for People Over 50” at the original pricing.
Since this is your last chance, let me remind you exactly what you’re getting:
✓ Complete kettlebell system designed for men and women 50+ ✓ Proper progression that won’t wreck your joints ✓ Recovery protocols that actually work at our age ✓ Real-world schedules (not 2-hour gym sessions) ✓ Safety modifications for common 50+ issues
Got this review from B. Owens (busy business owner):
“Who cares about strength, we just wanna be lean-ish and look respectable right? Well, Forest has showed me that getting stronger is the ultimate fitness ‘hack.’ Build muscle and it’s amazing how neatly everything else – fat loss, etc – falls into place. As a busy business owner, I appreciate the efficiency of his approach and workouts. I’ve never gained strength this fast in my life and I’ve also lost weight to boot.”
That’s what happens when you use a program designed specifically for people our age.
Here’s a sample workout from the program:
PART 1 – 4 rounds total:
½ or full Turkish Get Up (40 seconds) – “in between” option = ¾ get up
Rest 15 seconds
KB deadlift or KB swing (30 seconds) – “in between” option = ½ swing
Rest 15 seconds
PART 2 – 4 rounds total:
Bodyweight split squat or KB rack split squat (40 seconds per side)
Rest 15 seconds
Single arm KB row (40 seconds per side)
Rest 15 seconds
FINISHER – Perform 4 single OR double KB “total body attack” at the top of each minute. Repeat 5 times for 5 minutes total (20 reps).
Notice the progression options? That’s the difference between a program FOR people 50+ vs. generic fitness.
What is the biggest mistake I see people over 50 make with kettlebells?
They try to train like they’re 25.
Here’s what I mean:
At 25, you could do back-to-back high-intensity workouts and bounce back overnight. Your joints could handle whatever you threw at them.
At 50+? Your body needs a completely different approach:
Recovery: You can work out every other day, but be smart about it. Push hard with your kettlebell strength work, then alternate with conditioning or mobility days. Don’t go heavy every single session.
Joint prep: Always start with something specific to get you ready for the work ahead. If you’re doing swings and hinges, prep those movement patterns. Heavy upper body day? Make sure your shoulders are warmed up first.
Progression: Start with appropriate progressions for YOUR current fitness level, then slowly work up. Your connective tissue needs time to adapt – rushing this is where injuries happen.
Movement quality: Perfect form beats sloppy every time. I’d rather see you do fewer reps with great technique than high volume with bad form. You’ll get more results AND reduce injury risk.
You see, most kettlebell programs are designed by 30-something trainers who think “harder = better.” But I created this program to works WITH your body, not against it.
Quick story for you today and a warm-up you can steal.
Over the last 30 years, I’ve done a lot of things that’ve beaten my shoulders up—15 years of contact sports, 30+ years of lifting weights, and a good chunk of time in the last decade doing everything from grueling Kettlebell cert weekends to Spartan races to powerlifting comps.
One of the turning points was about five years ago, when I tore my pec and had to get surgery. That rehab process left me hesitant to do a lot of the things I used to love—heavy kettlebell pressing, snatches, barbell benching. And it became really clear: what had always worked before, wasn’t working anymore.
So I went back to the drawing board. I already had my Master’s in Human Movement with a post-rehab focus. I’d dabbled in yoga during my football days. But I really dove back into that world—corrective exercise, movement prep, mobility work—and never looked back.
I even completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training last year to deepen my understanding and sharpen my own practice.
It’s a 28-day plan, and it’s honestly just a really solid, structured shoulder-focused daily stretch, mobility, and strengthening program that helps you build healthier, more mobile, pain-free shoulders over time.
I actually did this exact protocol leading up to a weeklong yoga training earlier this year. I thought I’d be the stiffest guy in the room, especially in my shoulders and thoracic spine. But after doing this daily for a month beforehand… I held my own.
Same thing after pec rehab. Once I was cleared, I used these movements to rebuild my strength. Eventually, I got back to pressing and benching what I was doing before the tear—and even entered a powerlifting meet last year.
Here’s a 5–7 Minute Shoulder Warm-Up I’d recommend before kettlebell pressing, barbell benching, snatching, or overhead work:
Wall Slides – 1×10 Opens up the thoracic spine and activates upward rotation.
Band Pull-Aparts – 2×15 Fires up the posterior shoulder and mid-back.
Bottoms-Up KB Carry – 2×20 yards per arm Great for rotator cuff activation and shoulder stability.
Kettlebell Halos – 2×8 each direction Mobilizes the joint and preps for multi-plane motion.
Dead Hangs – 2×15-30 seconds (if shoulders allow) Opens up the shoulders, builds grip and stability.
Arm Bar or Open Book Stretch – 30 seconds/side Releases the anterior shoulder and improves thoracic rotation.
Optional: Add light Turkish Get-Ups (1-2 reps per side) if you want to integrate everything.
Try that before your next pressing workout. You’ll feel the difference. And if you want a full 28-day plan with follow-along videos and PDFs to guide you through it—check out the 8-Minute Shoulder Fix here:
The special launch price is ending, but it’s still an absolute steal for what you get. And after today, this’ll be the last time I’ll be talking about it for a while.
So if you’ve got shoulder issues—or you want to avoid them—this is a great place to start.
Peace out, and have a great day!

If you’re anything like me—and most of the people I coach who are 40 and up—you’ve probably dealt with some nagging shoulder pain. Maybe you’ve even had to skip pressing movements, kettlebell snatches, or push-ups because of it.
Over 40% of all resistance training injuries involve the shoulder. That makes it the most commonly injured area in the gym.
And that stat only includes people who went to the doctor.
If you’ve got a low-grade shoulder ache and you’re just pushing through it, you might be heading toward something more serious unless you take steps to fix it.
Don’t just stretch — mobilize. Most people think stretching is the answer. But mobility-focused movement sequences are another key part of creating change in the shoulder joint and surrounding tissue.
Fix your posture. Slouched posture and tight upper traps cause a chain reaction that stresses the shoulders. You’ve got to retrain those postural muscles and open up your upper back.
Improve shoulder stability. This one made a huge difference for me. It’s not just about being flexible — it’s about controlling the shoulder joint under load and in motion.
Keep it simple and consistent. The key is doing something that fits into your life. You don’t need 45 minutes a day. You need a plan you can stick with — and that’s why I made it just 8–10 minutes.
It’s a 28-day program designed for people 40 and up who want to relieve shoulder pain, restore mobility, and train without limitations.
It includes video demos, PDF guides, daily routines, and a progress tracker — plus I’m including my 28-Day Kettlebell Body Revival plan for free this week when you grab your copy.
If you’re serious about training pain-free and staying strong for the long haul, this is the place to start.

PS – I dealt with shoulder pain for years. I tried just about everything. What finally worked was putting together a smart, consistent routine like this — and sticking to it. If you’re ready to fix it for good, grab the plan this week while it’s still on sale -> the 8-Minute Shoulder Fix
