Episode 334: Don Saladino: Building Muscle As We Age and Defying Genetics with Hard Work.

Ever wondered who gets all those actors in shape for those massive roles? Want advice for your own fitness, diet, or business from one of the hardest-working people in the space? This episode is for you! 

In today’s Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I chat with Don Saladino about the importance of hard work when it comes to fitness. Genetics can play a small role, but they never outweigh someone’s work ethic. We also dive into building muscle as we age (hint: it’s not impossible!) and the importance of nutrition when it comes to body composition. 

Don Saladino is a Coach, Film & TV Superhero Trainer, & Fitness Entrepreneur. From training Hugh Jackman for Wolverine, to Anne Hathaway for Catwoman, and Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool, Don has a lot to offer in terms of what it takes to get superhero ready. Having thousands and thousands of training sessions under his belt he offers diet, exercise, and just plain life knowledge for anyone, not just those at the top of their game. Oh, and he's one of the nicest people in the industry. 

What we discuss: 

Hiring a coach vs following an Instagram influencer 

Changing body comp by cleaning up nutrition

Building muscle as a seasoned human

Genetics versus hard work

The importance of a rest day
