In this episode of the Healthy Living Scottsdale Podcast, Coaches Adam, Damon, and Director Jolie dig into one of the most overlooked aspects of training—your shoes. They break down how the type of footwear you wear can dramatically impact your strength, stability, alignment, and even your risk of injury, and they even share some brand recommendations.

The team explains why a flat, firm shoe is ideal for strength training and resistance workouts, while overly cushioned running shoes can actually work against you by reducing stability and force transfer. They discuss how shoes affect everything from ankle and knee health to back pain, and how proper footwear promotes better posture and movement from the ground up.

In this episode of the Healthy Living Scottsdale Podcast, Coaches Adam, Zach, and Jolie dive into one of the most misunderstood concepts in fitness—repetition versus variation. They unpack why repeating workouts isn’t lazy programming, but rather the foundation of real progress and mastery.

The team explains how consistent repetition allows you to develop skill, strength, and confidence in movement patterns, and why constantly changing exercises can actually stall results. You’ll learn how Legacy’s programming cycles—like hypertrophy, strength, and endurance phases—are strategically designed to build on each other for measurable, long-term success.

From understanding the science of progression and movement quality to learning the role of integration weeks and mental engagement, this episode reveals how Legacy’s system takes the guesswork out of your training and ensures every rep is moving you closer to your goals.

Damon shares his personal experience with knee pain and highlights how limited hip and ankle mobility can affect squatting, posture, and long-term joint health.

They break down what each zone means, the primary fuel sources used (fat, carbs, protein), and how to know which zone you’re in. The team discusses how Legacy’s training phases—strength, endurance, hypertrophy, and integration—intentionally move clients through different zones to build strength, cardiovascular health, and longevity.
