I don’t like diets. But I do diet…. And the diet I use if I want to lose fat is always intermittent fasting (IM). Of course, I’ll be the first to admit that there’s probably nothing special about it. Although you may hear about the medical miracles of fasting, the intermittent fasting protocol I use […]
Should I lift weights?
August 29, 2018 by
Should I lift weights? Yes. Of course, I know you think because we’re a gym we have to say yes. And you’re right. Kind of. But, let me spin it this way. We don’t say yes because we have a gym. Instead, we have a gym because we say yes. Did I just blow your […]
Will the keto diet help me lose weight?
August 24, 2018 by
Keto is hot right now. In fact, it’s really hot. You probably have at least one friend right now that’s on it, and know of at least 5 other success stories from it (using your Kevin Bacon network, no pun intended). It even has its own brand of coffee, Bulletproof Coffee. So of course, you […]
Diets don’t work…
August 16, 2018 by
Diets don’t work. That’s not entirely accurate. 95% of diets don’t work over the long-term. But why? They should. From a physiological perspective, it’s simple. If you eat fewer calories than you burn (barring a medical condition), you should lose weight. So, on paper, it’s really as easy as eating less and exercising more. Unfortunately, […]
Healthy, Delicious, Prepared meals now available at both locations
April 27, 2018 by
It’s almost that time of the year. The grass needs cut, little league practice has started, and schedules are getting hectic. What does that mean for your waistline? A potential disaster. Nachos at the ball game. A few beers while mowing the grass. A trip through the drive-thru as you’re bussing children from practice […]
The PCP Plus Plan – Training, Nutrition, and Accountability is coming to Ageless in Gillespie
April 23, 2018 by
It’s no secret that exercise is confusing and often times, frustrating. Am I doing this exercise correctly? Should I be doing cardio or resistance training? How many reps should I do? What are the best exercises for my butt? How many weekly workouts should I be doing? I heard kettlebell swings are really good for […]
DBT: How can I find motivation to get to the gym?
April 3, 2018 by
Q: I’m finding it’s harder and harder to motivate myself to go to the gym. I know once this weather gets warmer I’ll struggle to make it even one day per week. What can I do? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Compete. Practice for something. Anything. A 5k. The Ageless Strength Badge. An obstacle race like […]
DBT: Training for a 5k
March 26, 2018 by
Most guys don’t enjoy cardio. The monotony. The lack of heavy lifting. The sweating. The heavy breathing. It’s just not fun. But do you know what is fun? Racing. Competition. Having a training goal. A 5k maybe? Unfortunately, bad knees, a bad back, tight hips, terrible running form, and a propensity for training like […]
DBT: The busy dad’s lifting workout
March 20, 2018 by
Between my job, kids, and wife, I barely have time to lift. If I only have time for three 45 minute strength training workouts per week, what should they look like? That’s easy. I regularly run into the same problem when I’m picking out fireworks for July 4th. I don’t want the hoosker doos, […]
