Peloton strength and tread instructor Andy Speer joins On The X to break down why most people train the wrong way as they age. From his roots as a competitive gymnast and college pole vaulter to building Peloton’s TS60 program, Andy shares his “strength span” philosophy - the 5 key pillars for staying strong, mobile and capable for life. Andy and Chris dive into what a day as a Peloton instructor looks like, which supplements and recovery hacks are actually worth it, and Andy’s candid take on men’s mental health and self-compassion.
