The art & science of living well

[Mike Simone @Mike_Simone_]

What I tell my over-40 friends when they ask about working out…

[humanfitproject @humanfitproject]

One particular trend that has been bubbling for several years now but seems to be gaining even more momentum is the hybrid athlete.

It’s really just a catchy name for being very well-rounded.

Here’s how to train like one:

Just added the Redemption/24 workout plan to our growing list of FREE programs! https://t.co/apvoUUKCbO

[Mike Simone @Mike_Simone_]

There's work to be done.

Redemption/24 is the 2024 version of the original Redemption (2016) program. The goal with this updated version was to maintain the original, and most important message of the program, but redesign the workouts so they're accessible for different age groups and fitness levels.

- Redemption is where the true challenge lies not in the workouts themselves, but in the commitment to your deeper self. This program is more than a path to physical strength — it's a gateway to rediscovering your inner fortitude and realigning with your core identity.

- Enduring Redemption, you'll feel tired, you'll feel sore, but more importantly, you'll feel an awakening of a powerful, confident spirit within. This isn't just a fitness regimen — it's a transformative experience that transcends the gym and seeps into every facet of your life.

- Inspired by a personal journey of losing and finding oneself again, Redemption is for anyone who's ever felt adrift, seeking a way back to their true path. It's a testament to the power of self-commitment, a reminder that the strength gained through this program is a strength that can reshape your entire life.

- Motivational mantras do not define this journey, the essence of Redemption is felt in every lift, every push, and every stride forward. It's a silent yet powerful affirmation that if you can commit to this, if you can see it through, there's nothing in life you can't achieve.

- Redemption is not just about building muscles or endurance — it's about constructing a resilient, unyielding spirit. It's about the triumph of the human will, the celebration of inner strength, and the realization that true power lies in commitment and perseverance.

Any suggestions?

Tested a new minimal equipment workout this morning that beginners, elites, and anyone in between can do.

I’ve been spending HOURS and HOURS (Quite frankly, YEARS) trying to develop something we can all take on together.

Working hard to achieve that feat.

Anyone here an entrepreneur or small business owner? Read on...

I designed a 7-day holistic fitness plan specifically for entrepreneurs and executives.

You can counterbalance stress and long hours with exercise and self-care strategies.

Here’s what a 7-day holistic plan looks like for the ambitious, time-strapped, and those who won't settle for average:

🏋️‍♂️ Strength. Build muscle and boost overall strength. (2 days)
🏃‍♂️High-Intensity. Supercharge the metabolism and elevate heart health. (1 day)
🚴‍♂️Long Zone 2 Cardio. Build stamina and fortify cardiovascular health. (1 day)
🧘‍♂️Desk Stretches. Improve flexibility and mobility without leaving your desk. (daily)
🌬️ Breathwork. The 10-minute practice for a resilient mind. (daily)

For maximum results, consistency is key.

⏳Commit for 6-8 weeks
🚀Embrace incremental progress
💤Prioritize rest and recovery

💰 ROI? Immeasurable.

Not your typical times for improving your running stamina… 🏃‍♀️

-align your sleep schedule to marathon day to avoid that jet lag-like feeling

-go easy on easy days and fast on speed days (there is no in between!)

-use your five senses when out on a run to tap into your “ventral vagal state” and calm your nervous system

-try non-sleep deep rest, like Yoga Nidra, to help with mind-body recovery

This is one of my go-to routines for staying mobile and feeling good. Throw your headphones in and tune everything out. I hope you’ll give it a try.

I haven’t been able to pistol squat on my left knee for over 4 years… I didn’t train for it. I just mustered the courage and went for it. Morale of the story? No idea. What do you think?

This was actually very intense at first, then I followed it up with calming breathholds and swimming. It was an interesting combination of one workout, two opposing mindsets.
