#366: Functional Training After 40: What Matters, What Doesn’t, and Why Warm-Ups Help

from The FIT40 Podcast · host Bryan Fitzsimmons

DESCRIPTIONIn this episode of the Fit40 Podcast, I take you inside a real group coaching call where we break down some of the biggest fitness myths adults over 40 see on social media. We talk about whether “functional training,” supersets, rotational exercises, and fancy movements are actually necessary, or if simple strength training is still the best option for busy parents. I explain how the body really works after 40, why consistency matters more than complexity, and how warm-ups, mobility, and smart programming keep you strong, pain-free, and progressing long term. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re training wrong because of something you saw on TikTok, this episode will clear things up.FIT40 LINKS✅ Feeling stiff, achy, or low on energy?👉 Try the FREE Core 4 Mobility & Metabolism Reset — just 4 minutes a day to move better and feel amazing: https://fit40coaching.com/core4reset✅ Want a clear plan and someone to keep you on track?👉 Let’s talk about your goals and what you need in a Free Coaching Consultation: https://fit40coaching.com/coachingconsultationAFFILIATE LINKS:Try Tonal for 30 Days Risk Free: https://tonal.sjv.io/FIT40Get 10% Off The Genius Protein Shot: https://www.geniusshot.com/?ref=BRYAN_FIT40&transaction_id=10214dd14c839e450a4423af7b1f8eCONNECT WITH ME ONLINEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryan.fitzsimmonsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/coach_fitzz/⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@coach_fitzz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bryan_fit40 This is a public episode.
