🎙️ Bonus Episode 2.2 – Rediscovering Strength: The Power of the Shena Board

 In this special bonus episode, Hugo shares the story behind a humble wooden tool that became a cornerstone of his training: the Shena Board. Rooted in ancient traditions and built with his own hands, the Shena taught him about simplicity, discipline, and aging with strength. Whether you're over 40, starting fresh, or just curious about bodyweight training, this episode invites you to reconnect with movement — one slow push-up at a time. 

🎸 Special thanks to the band Shelma & Volkara for the epic intro music.

In this episode of Aging Strong with Hugo, I dive into the tools that helped me rebuild my shoulders, improve my posture, and train smarter—not harder—after turning 50. 

Discover the power of Indian Clubs and Steel Clubs—ancient tools making a modern comeback in functional training. I share how these circular strength tools not only helped me move pain-free but also brought focus, coordination, and mobility back into my daily life. 

Whether you're navigating stiffness, recovering from overtraining, or simply want to age with strength and grace, this episode is for you. 

🎯 Topics covered: 

• What Indian Clubs and Steel Clubs are
• Why mobility matters more than ever after 50
• My personal journey from pain to performance
• How to get started safely—even as a total beginner

This is functional fitness with purpose—and with longevity in mind.
