Are your feet ready to run?

Whether you are already running consistently or you are preparing to start, your feet need to have the strength and mobility to hold up to the stress.

We lay out what we believe the most important steps to take are and how to go about doing them no matter what your fitness level.

If you are ready to start running, you need to make sure your feet are up for the task, and this discussion has all the info you need to do that.

Does your Achilles tendon ever bother you?

From high-level athletes in their 20s to sedentary people in their 80s and everywhere in between, Achilles issues are extremely common.

While the primary issue would appear to be the Achilles itself, there are a lot of other factors that are often overlooked with traditional therapies and strength training programs.

Unfortunately, by neglecting these other factors, people are setting themselves up to cycle through an on again, off again relationship with their Achilles issues.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the three biggest factors to consider when trying to troubleshoot Achilles issues that go beyond the feet and ankles.

If you have ever struggled with an Achilles that just would not feel well and stay well no matter what you tried, listen up.

The missing pieces we share in this discussion can take you over that hurdle and onto doing all the things you love while feeling great.

Do you have difficulty feeling your muscles squeeze when you workout?

If you have listened to our podcast at all, you likely have heard us talk about our four Exercise For Life Principles, the last of which is to focus on squeezing your muscles when you exercise.

But what if you aren't able to do this?

What if, when you try to focus on the squeeze, you aren't feeling any specific sensation in the muscles you are working? How can you troubleshoot this?

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying why this may be happening and lay out a plan you can follow to start to sense the squeeze.

If you have ever worked out and felt just a general sensation of fatigue instead of very specific sensations of your muscles squeezing despite your best efforts, listen up!

What we share in this discussion can change that for you once and for all.

Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling like your body has gotten noticeably older?

Maybe you have some aches and pains that weren't always there. Or maybe your strength and fitness feel like they are on the decline. Or perhaps tasks that once felt simple now feel taxing.

While most people want to chalk this up to old age and put in the bucket of "there's nothing I can do about it", there's actually an underlying reason why your body is feeling this way that isn't related to your biological age.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying what this underlying reason is and laying out what you can do about it.

If you feel like your body is feeling older with each passing day no matter what you do, listen up! What we share in this discussion can completely change that for you.
