Maintaining strength and mobility isn't just about looking fit—it's about preserving independence, health and quality of life as we age. Muscles naturally begin to change around midlife, with metabolism slowing and the body losing some of its ability to build or maintain mass.Without attention, that shift can lead to less strength, more fatigue, and a higher risk of chronic conditions. But experts say muscle longevity—the ability to keep muscles strong and functional well into later years—is possible with the right habits.On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, The Ledger's Tony Mecia talks with orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Robert Morgan about how aging affects muscle, what people can do to counteract the decline, and why it's never too late to start.This episode is a recording of the third session of the free “Move Well, Live Well” webinar series, brought to you by The Charlotte Ledger and OrthoCarolina.

Self-betrayal starts in childhood when trauma teaches you to ignore what your gut is telling you and go straight into overthinking mode just to survive. Your intuition isn't something you think about - it's something you feel deep in your center, quiet and calm, while anxiety creates this crazy mental chaos that spins you out. As kids, trauma survivors had to shut down their inner knowing to avoid getting hurt worse, which creates these lifelong habits of people-pleasing and abandoning yourself. Healing is about giving yourself permission to trust your gut again and act on it, even when it makes other people uncomfortable. You need safe relationships to help your intuition grow back - toxic people just shut it down. Trauma also disconnects you from your body, which is actually a huge part of how you receive intuitive messages. Good boundaries keep the drama out so you can actually hear what your inner wisdom is trying to tell you.

 The modern notion of the ideal man involves a lot of lean muscle mass — but why does our culture demand so much bulk from men whose lives for the most part no longer revolve around manual labor? Washington Post classical music critic Michael Andor Brodeur is a lifelong lifter, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his examination of modern masculinity, why the gym took over after the Industrial Revolution, and what building muscle means for healthy — or unhealthy — identities. His book is “Swole: The Making of Men and the Meaning of Muscle.”This episode originally aired June 21st, 2024.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Dynamic Aging Retreat Oct 3-5 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesIn this episode, Katy Bowman and Jeannette Loram dive into the fascinating relationship between blood sugar, diet, and movement. They unpack how the body regulates blood sugar, what happens when this process breaks down in Type I and Type II diabetes, and why different kinds of activity play such a big role in prevention and management.Katy and Jeannette explain how contracting muscles can pull glucose directly into working cells during exercise—a powerful but site-specific effect—and how long-term training reshapes muscle to take up glucose more efficiently.They also compare the blood sugar benefits of endurance exercise, resistance training, HIIT, stretching, and even light daily movement. Along the way, they highlight two key scenarios: insulin resistance linked to excess weight and inflammation, versus insulin resistance driven by low muscle mass in people with normal weight. For the latter, they stress why resistance training—or “big body work”—is especially essential.CHAPTERS 0:06:00 - Definitions 0:16:00 - The Dynamic Collective 0:17:00 - You Can't Exercise Off Diabetes 0:20:00 - Muscle is the Key Tissue (and the Liver)0:36:30 - Stretching & Light Activity 0:47:00 - Exercise Modality for Blood Sugar Regulation0:54:25 - Listener Question on Lupus brought to you by Peluva 1:09:09 - Blood Sugar Spikes During Exercise BOOKS & RESEARCH PAPERS My Perfect Movement Plan by Katy BowmanI know I should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy BowmanExercise and GLUT4 by Flores-Opazo et al (2020) Mechanisms of endurance and resistance exercise in type 2 diabetes by Zhao et al (2025)  Sedentary behaviour as a mediator of type 2 diabetes by Hamilton et al (2015) Impact of reduced sitting time or increasing sit-to-stand transitions on blood pressure and glucose regulation in Postmenopausal women by Hartman et al (2025) The impact of standing desks on cardiometabolic and vascular health by Bodker et al (2021) MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS:Sweet Skins, organic hemp and cotton clothing that is stylish, flexible and designed to move with you, take 20% off with code Movement20Peluva, Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for walking and higher impact activities.

https://teachhoops.com/ Players should not focus on complex team-specific plays, excessive high-intensity scrimmaging, or flashy, low-percentage "highlight" moves during the off-season. The goal of the off-season is to prioritize individual skill development, physical recovery, and building a strong fundamental base. The off-season is for individual growth, not for memorizing a team's playbook. Spending time practicing intricate 5-on-5 offensive sets or complex defensive rotations is inefficient for several reasons: You're Alone: You can't replicate these plays without four other teammates. Systems Change: Your coach might change the playbook next season, or you might even play for a different team. Wasted Time: The time spent on team plays is better used perfecting universal skills like shooting, dribbling, and footwork that fit into any system. Focus on becoming a better individual player, and you'll be able to learn any team's system much faster when the pre-season begins. While playing games is fun, jumping directly into constant, high-intensity 5-on-5 scrimmages early in the off-season is a mistake. This can lead to burnout and overuse injuries. The off-season should be periodized: Rest and Recovery: The period immediately after the season ends should be for healing the body. Skill and Strength Building: The bulk of the off-season should be dedicated to controlled workouts, strength training, and skill repetition. Pre-Season Preparation: As the next season approaches, you can gradually ramp up the intensity and incorporate more game-like scrimmaging. Think of it as building a foundation before putting the house on top. Constant scrimmaging is like trying to build the roof first.

Dynamic Aging Retreat Oct 3-5 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesIn this episode, Katy Bowman and Jeannette Loram have a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation with neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum.Dr. Appelbaum breaks down the crucial difference between eyesight—what you can see—and vision—how your brain interprets what you see and turns it into action. Together, they explore the striking parallels between physical and visual health, highlighting how prolonged screen time and visual inactivity can stiffen our eye muscles just like sedentary habits stiffen our joints. Focusing on screens all day is like clenching your fist nonstop—leading to eye strain, headaches, and long-term issues like poor eye coordination, which can affect depth perception, balance, and even increase the risk of falls.The conversation covers everything from visual tics and dry eyes to how vision is connected to musculoskeletal alignment and behavior—and even offers a glimpse into the future of eye health in our tech-heavy world.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sat down with Butch Phelps, a brilliant muscle nerd who blew my mind with how much our pain, posture, and even our emotions are connected. He explained how muscle tension isn't just physical; it's emotional. Stress, anxiety, and anger? They literally twist your muscles like rubber bands. And get this: the spot where you feel pain often isn't where it's actually coming from. Butch broke down why our bodies hold tension, how that tension becomes chronic, and why pain is often a signal, not a sentence.We also dove into his personal story, going from 315 pounds and in pain to totally redefining his health by building strength and shifting his relationship with food. His transformation wasn't about chasing skinny; it was about understanding how the body works and supporting it with care, movement, and better information. If you've ever felt like your body is betraying you, this one's gonna flip the script. Tune in and take notes, because your muscles? They're listening.Bio: Butch Phelps is a self-proclaimed muscle nerd, licensed massage therapist, author, and founder of The Muscle Repair Shop. After surviving a devastating car crash and a long battle with pain and weight gain, Butch turned his life around by diving deep into muscle science, neuromuscular therapy, and Active Isolated Stretching. His personal transformation, combined with a degree in Aging Sciences and years of hands-on experience, led him to develop the Stretch n' Release Technique, a powerful method for relieving chronic pain and restoring mobility. Now pain-free for over 18 years, Butch educates clients and even retired physicians through his YouTube channel, book, and workshops, helping people reclaim their bodies and live pain-free lives.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Connect with Butch!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musclerepairshop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuscleRepairShopWhere else can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosWhat if health wasn't about rules or restriction?

Is bigger always better when it comes to strength training? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down the science of muscle growth, revealing why increased size doesn't always equal increased strength. From neural adaptations to muscle fiber recruitment, they explore what's really happening inside your body when you train – and why understanding it can transform the way you approach your workouts. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher talk about increasing muscle size, and when that doesn't happen. Back in the 1980s, a hypothesis by Digby Sale looked at the two key adaptations most people are interested in when it comes to growing their muscle. Hypertrophy is an increase in muscle size. Dr. Fisher explains that, “When we begin strength training, almost 99% of our adaptations and increases in strength are neural.”  Dr. Fisher goes on to say that at some point our hypertrophic adaptations, or increase in muscle size, will kick in which can lead to an increase of muscle strength as well. Did you know that most people aren't able to recruit 30% and maybe 90% of their muscle fibres. Dr. Fisher touches upon a project that looked at the different reactions (and results) between people used to exercise and some who typically don't… “The increase in force and the increase in ability to produce force is a product of our ability to send continued, sustained and higher frequency impulses from our brain to our muscle fibers,” says Dr. Fisher. There are different structures within a muscle: the muscle fascicle, the muscle fiber, and the myofibrils. A 1-2% change in one of them doesn't equal a change in the whole muscle. Dr. Fisher and Amy go through each muscle structure and its role within strength training and in the muscle growth process. It's good to note that “myo” refers to muscle, so myofibril, for instance, refers to a fibril within a muscle. Hypertrophy revolves around an increase in size, while hyperplasia has to do with an increase in numbers. There's some evidence around hyperplasia, though many people still question whether it truly exists. Did you know that somebody that has average size in muscles but is very strong has arguably better muscle quality than somebody who can produce the same amount of force but has much bigger muscles? The conversation touches upon two ways to measure muscle growth, “in vivo” and “in vitro,” as well as muscle architecture, the motivators for wanting to increase the size of one's muscle, and the pennation angle of our muscles. For Dr. Fisher, strength training is wasted on people that just want bigger muscles, as it's a superficial acceptance or adaptation to strength training.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Hulk Hogan died recently. He's been denounced by some, praised by others. On his impact on the sport, pro wrestling historian Brian Soloman remarked on his passing "Wrestling history is divided in two parts: Before Hulk Hogan, and after Hulk Hogan…He was larger than life, inspired millions of people, many of whom spent decades being gradually let down by him.” But, also, some contend, his influence on our current cultural and political moment is significant as well. Generations are influenced by his muscles and swagger, he introduced Trump at last year's Republican National Convention and his personal political actions are also worth noting. In our latest, we talk with our friend and comrade, and host of This is Revolution, Jason Myles about Hogan's importance.Bio//Jason Myles is a writer, musician and co-host of This is Revolution Podcast. ------------------------------------------Outro- Green and Red Blues by Moody

It's no secret in 2025 that stronger muscles lead to longer life. If you're a woman in perimenopause, postmenopause or anything in between, this is no surprise to you. I think we are very aware of it, but let's unpack how weight lifting treats and prevents chronic diseases. Women, at any age, need stronger muscles for a longer life. Not just for aesthetics, but for functionality and independence.   My Guest: A longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor, Michael Joseph Gross has published investigative reporting, essays, and books about culture, technology, politics, religion, and business. He was raised in rural Illinois and lives in New York City.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:31] How did this become a topic of interest to you personally?  [00:07:54] Let's connect strength training to prevention and treatment of illnesses often associated - even accepted - with aging? [00:20:17] Weight training has been shown to decrease anxiety and to have positive effects on risk of Alzheimer's or type 3 diabetes, can you explain for the listeners?  [00:26:31] How has the work of Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh showed that weight training may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? [00:33:13] Why is lifting heavy important? Do you worry that leading with “lift heavy” intimidates women? What did you uncover as evidence that it is never too late to start progressive strength training?   Why Strength Training? Strength training changes more than just your body—it's internal too. It's not about looking stronger—it's about being stronger. Adolescence and menopause are both times when women feel their bodies are changing without their consent. Strength training gives back a sense of control, capability, and power.   Stronger Muscles Longer Life At Any Age   Strong Youth: Peak bone mass forms in youth—strength training in adolescence builds lifelong health. A 10% increase in bone mass reduces future fracture risk by more than 50%.   Strong in Midlife: Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh, geriatrician and professor in Sydney, Australia, found that even 90+ year-olds can gain muscle mass with high-intensity training. Weight training can treat and prevent nearly all chronic diseases.   Stronger Muscles Through Weight Lifting Treats and Prevents These Diseases: Type 2 Diabetes Heart Disease Osteoporosis Depression and Anxiety Insomnia Osteoarthritis Frailty Dementia & Alzheimer's Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Fall Risk   Periodization & Smart Strength Training: Periodization: Cycles of high effort, deloading, and rest. Women (especially Type A) tend to push too hard—leading to burnout or injury. Strength training should energize you, not exhaust you. Part of lifting heavy is lifting light. The goal: Live better, not just lift more.   Ancient Greek Lesson: The Right Time to Train Greek word kairos = the “opportune moment” for action. Good training is about doing the right thing at the right time. Don't blindly follow a plan. Train for your body today.   Connect with Michael: Michael's Website Twitter - DuttonBooks   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This - What's Best Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Resources: Tune in to the upcoming Flipping 50 Masterclass.

C'est l'histoire d'un homme qu'il était impossible de voir venir. Le scénario de sa vie, comme le scénario de la plupart des films qu'il a tournés d'ailleurs, n'est pas crédible. En trois mots, Arnold Schwarzenegger a été, au cours de sa vie : Mister Univers, Terminator et Gouverneur de Californie - et oui, ça fait beaucoup. Mais ça fait aussi de lui quelqu'un d'extrêmement intrigant. Qui ne s'est jamais demandé s'il y avait un être humain doté d'intelligence derrière ses pectoraux géants ?… En réalité, il y a d'abord eu un petit garçon sous l'emprise d'un père tyrannique en Autriche. Puis un ado plutôt timide mais accro au bodybuilding et nourri au rêve américain par les magazines. Bien sûr, il y a eu ensuite celui qu'on connaît tous, l'acteur et le politique. Et puis celui qu'on connaît moins, marié à une Kennedy, père de quatre enfants d'abord, puis de cinq, après la découverte publique d'un fils qu'il a longtemps caché. Que nous disent sa vie sous les projecteurs et sa vie en coulisses une fois qu'on les met côte à côte ? Est-ce qu'on regarde toujours Arnold Schwarzenegger comme avant ? Pour cet épisode de Scandales, au micro de la journaliste Marion Galy-Ramounot se succèdent :- Jérôme Momcilovic, journaliste et critique de cinéma, auteur de l'ouvrage Prodiges d'Arnold Schwarzenegger en 2016- Samuel Delacre, co-animateur du podcast de cinéma VHS et Canapé- Mark Barabak, journaliste politique au Los Angeles Times- Carla Hall, journaliste d'investigation au Los Angeles TimesScandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

Dynamic Aging Retreat Oct 3-5 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesBiomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram talk about rucking—walking with weight on your back—and other modes of carrying. They touch on the evolutionary history of carrying, carrying in modern Hunter Gatherer populations, rucking in the military and the benefits of fitness rucking. Jeannette and Katy focus on the challenges associated with rucking particularly pain and discomfort. They explain how different body adjustments—like leaning forward, arching the back, or shifting the hips forward—are responses to offset the backward-pulling force of a heavy load. These shifts help accommodate the extra mass, but if a single adjustment is done repetitively or without muscular support through the core, pain can be the result. Listen in to discover a more varied and mindful approach to managing your ruck; your low back will thank you!CHAPTERS  00:06:00 - The Dynamic Collective 00:07:00 -  Are Humans Born to Carry? 00:13:00 - Phases of Life and Issues with Fitness Rucking and Carrying in General  00:26:00 - What's Holding You Up?

Lockheed Martin (LMT) became the worst performer on the SPX after it posted over $1.6 billion in pre-tax losses in earnings. Despite the setback, Frances Stacy says shares are "on sale." A triple bottom in the stock, combined with geopolitical risk make the stock a buy, according to Frances. Tony Bancroft adds that demand for the company's F-35 jet will only accelerate.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Try Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 Days!This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesBiomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram get into a nuanced discussion about clothing, specifically the idea that how you get dressed might be impacting the way that you move or the movement choices you are able to make. Katy and Jeannette highlight how stiff or excessively baggy clothing might be ‘casting' movement. On the flip side ‘stabilizing' wear like well-designed bras and compressive garments can make movement more comfortable for certain activities. Katy offers advice on how to dress for multiple scenarios: the movement that you plan to do, the spontaneous movements that you might want to do, as well as all the other things you need to do in a day.Also in this episode Katy speaks with Mira Fannin of Sweet Skins. Sweet Skins produce beautiful hemp-cotton organic clothing. Katy and Mira talk about the origin of Sweet Skins and how Mira's goal to make cute and liveable clothes for busy women has created the perfect movement-friendly clothing line.
