Longevity in training isn’t just what you do in the gym. Recovery plays a huge role.  One important factor to remember is that it takes time to action on these steps. Your best bet is to start now, whatever your age, so you can grow older more gracefully, while getting stronger and fitter, too.

In this episode we will discuss subjects around the role of exercise / movement in your life:

- Knowing your why, what are you training for and it’s importance.

- Goal setting and it’s importance .

- Tools to help longevity in performance .e.g warming up, environment, rest days.

- Variety vs Routine.

- Training smart - self-awareness, knowledge, out-sourcing coaches and communities support your goals, Defining a PB -  it's not just KG on the bar.

- Holistic approach to personal growth.

- Motivation techniques to improve mobility and consistency in mobility practice.

- Do you need to stretch or do you need to get stronger?

- How can you implement more strategies into your life for the longevity of movement in your life.
