In this episode of Stephen McCain podcast, I interview fitness expert Al Kavadlo, who specializes in helping middle-aged men get into shape.

We discuss the importance of exercise for longevity, how to make exercise a part of your routine, and Al's own journey from traditional weight training to the more advanced bodyweight training of calisthenics. 

By the end of the episode, you will learn that exercise is an empowering activity that can have a significant impact on our lives. It is something we can control, and it can help us to make positive changes in our physical and mental health. Whether we are young or old, exercise can be a great way to boost your mood and to stay healthy.


Today's Guest

Al Kavadlo

Al started working out in 1992 when he was just 13 years old. A decade later he began his career in the fitness industry.

In 2009, he started his blog and YouTube channel. He wound up getting a book deal with Dragon Door Publications soon thereafter.

Al's first book for Dragon Door, entitled Raising The Bar, was released in 2012. He went on to publish several titles with them, including Get Strong, a collaboration with his brother Danny. He is also known for my appearance in Dragon Door’s popular Convict Conditioning book series.

Additionally, he has self-published two titles, and most recently, been published by StrongAndFit.com.

Altogether Al's books and programs have sold over a million copies worldwide.
