Coach Kevin’s here with today’s episode calling out the five biggest exercise mistakes he sees people over 50 make... and yes, he’s made every single one of them himself. So if you're tired of doing “all the right things” and still not getting the results you want, grab your favorite protein smoothie and get ready to course-correct.

 

Whether you're a cardio junkie, a warm-up skipper, or just winging it without a plan, this episode is your friendly wake-up call (with love, and a few tough truths).

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

·      Why skipping your warm-up is like showing up to a gunfight with a rubber band

·      The crucial difference between exercise and training (spoiler: one gets results, the other gets you frustrated)

·      How to find your “just right” dose of exercise — and avoid the dreaded bell curve of diminishing returns

·      Why cardio alone won’t torch fat (and what actually will)

·      The one type of exercise that’s been unfairly blacklisted for us “older folks” - and why avoiding it is a fast track to frailty

·      BONUS: The silent metabolism killer Coach Kevin sees all the time (Hint: it’s not overeating… it’s the opposite)
