In this episode, I talk about the 3 fitness compromises I’ve happily made as someone rapidly approaching 40 — and why they’ve actually improved my consistency, recovery and relationship with training.

We cover:

  • Why lower training volume can still build muscle effectively
  • The reality of maintaining a lean physique in your 30s and 40s
  • Why slightly higher body fat levels can improve quality of life
  • The problem with chasing “optimal” fitness all the time
  • Why slower progress is often more sustainable long term
  • How to balance fitness goals with work, family and real life
  • The mindset shift from extreme fitness to sustainable fitness

If you feel stuck in the cycle of starting over, chasing perfect plans, or feeling like fitness is becoming harder to maintain with age, this episode is for you.
