  • EP109 - Fitness After 30 (Or 40…Or 50): Strong, Not Shredded

    Brian and Reggie unpack fitness for real life after 30/40/50. We cover why goals and recovery shift, why “pain = progress” is a myth, and how to make fitness durable with a Habit Floor, joint-friendly movements, and honest session lengths. Reggie walks through his tire/mace + row/walk routine; Brian maps it to carry-lift-sprint and suggests tweaks for longevity. We hit intervals vs. steady state, how to start from sedentary without breaking yourself, CGM/cooldown notes, diet sanity (protein+veg first, small swaps), and realistic expectations for the first 90 days.

    Key takeaways (bullets)

    • Minimums beat maxes: protect a 3-day Habit Floor.
    • Carry • Lift • Sprint scales to any joint, any week.
    • Recovery is training: sleep, easy days, cooldowns.
    • Start small, progress one knob at a time.
    • Protein+veg first; plan food so willpower isn’t the bottleneck.

  • EP107 - One Rule, Three Stories (No Theory, Just Real Life)

    We each pick one rule for life, then swap three stories: a win, a fail, and a tweak that makes it stick. From anxiety at reunions to hospital fights and toxic jobs, it’s no-theory wisdom for Christian men seeking practical faith. Find us on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook at R&B Talks.
