Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or wondering if you’re too old to start something new? You’re going to love this one.

 

In this Monday Mile edition, Coach Kevin answers real questions from listeners who are walking the same path you are - trying to lose weight, build muscle, and feel strong, confident, and alive in the second half of life.

 

We cover it all in this fast-paced, power-packed episode - here’s what you’ll hear:

  • How to get your drive back after 60 - the truth about motivation vs discipline, why your “why” matters, and the secret connection between hormones and mojo.
  • Should you still deadlift after 50? Coach Kevin breaks down the myths, the mechanics, and how to lift safely - even if you’re brand new to strength training.
  • Is Jiu-Jitsu too intense after 55? Spoiler: Nope. Learn how one listener is proving it’s never too late to move, compete, and have fun.

 

Whether you’re restarting your fitness journey, chasing consistency, or just need a dose of Monday motivation, this episode will remind you that you’re never too old to start strong - or to start again.
