The Active Life Podcast

Mike Boyle is one of the people in strength and conditioning who has had the largest influences on me (Dr. Sean) as a coach.  Back in 2006 in Chiropractic School Mike was putting out content that was so full of common sense and practicality that I could not ignore it.

Whether it was an article of his on T-Nation or a video of him I found somewhere, I was consuming Mike Boyle content. The opportunity to conduct today’s podcast episode was truly a professional thrill of mine

We cover some crazy topics, most prominently why Mike thinks Squatting is much less valuable than most people do.

Mike “The Hockey Guy” Boyle, has worked with countless professional, olympic, and amateur athletes, many of them in hockey despite never even lacing up a pair of competitive skates of his own. If you want to learn today, you need to listen to this podcast.

Today’s Bonus episode is especially interesting because Dr. Sean is speaking with one of Active Life’s longest standing one on one clients (over 2 years). Kimberly, the athlete is struggling to establish purpose for her training.

She came to Active Life to help get back to performance after rehab from a Torn ACL left her in the space between needing training and needing therapy (Active Life’s sweet spot). In this conversation Dr. Sean actually spends some time trying to talk the client into leaving Active Life and going at it on her own, but her answer might surprise you and it was pretty compelling.

We know you will relate to this one and we know you will enjoy it!

“I’m in pretty good shape for my age” is a crutch. It’s personal forgiveness for not being in the kind of shape you could be in. Amy Mandelbaum proves this every day.

Not everyone wants to be in great shape. It’s not a major priority for everyone and that’s perfectly acceptable. The goals of some are not the goals of all.

But on today’s episode Amy Mandelbaum discusses how she is a different athlete at age 51 than she was at age 20 and age 40. We go into how this multiple time CrossFit Games Athlete approaches her training and her life.

“When you say ‘family first’, what does that really mean?” “How do you find time to workout with kids, a husband, a job, a house, and daily chores that need to get done?” These are the types of Amy answered today, but the way she answered them are far from your typical expected answers.

Want to be in great shape for any age with the mindset that you’re just getting started? Listen to this episode with Amy Mandelbaum!
