For this episode, I brought on Farooq Al Said, a training partner of mine who has helped me with rethinking some of how I handle my own training. Having a martial arts background and a very playful approach to training, working out with Farooq is a great change of pace for me.  

In younger days, Farooq had opportunities to be a pro fighter and play AAA pro baseball. But life had other plans for him. Through all he’s been through, the love of training has always lasted with him. We discuss on this episode a lot of stories related to training your ability to move well when it comes to sports & life longevity. 

4:45 - Farooq does martial science, the rest of us just throw temper tantrums when we get in fights

16:10 - Muscle Don’t Mean Shit if it Don’t Move. We discuss having robust movement and how that influences longevity & performance

30:27 - the importance of play when it comes to training

45:01 - how training well when you’re young can help make your later adulthood years feel amazing & youthful
