Adam Ticknor on tactical fitness and tips for staying strong into old age

This is the first in a series of live episodes with Lynsey's trainer, Adam Ticknor. Adam is a former US Marine Scout sniper who now works as a survivalist expert, health and wellness coach, and teacher of nonverbal communication. In this episode, he talks about two areas of his expertise: survivalist skills and tactical health and fitness. He explains the importance of basic skills such as gardening and walking, and why learning a few practical survivalist tricks can make all the difference. He also talks about why certain foods are toxic to our bodies, the benefits of positive and negative motivation, and why community is vital to our happiness and longevity. Adam also shares some of his craziest adventure stories, like a first date he went on in Hawaii that almost got him killed, and the time he found himself wading through a river of dog poop while on a mission in the jungle during his military career. He also talks about one of his clients, who, at age 62, went from barely being able to walk, to deadlifting 145 pounds.
