Jar lids harder to open after 65? Try these 4 daily exercises instead. A jar lid that won’t budge, or a shopping bag that keeps getting swapped from hand to hand, is usually the first sign your grip has slipped. I’m a trainer with TRAINFITNESS, the UK’s leading fitness education provider, and in my work with clients over 65 I see the same pattern again and again: a whole hand that’s weaker than it should be in every direction at once. The thumb is usually the first casualty. Pinch strength between the thumb and fingertips is what holds a fork,…

Modern life is built around one central promise: whatever you are doing, there is probably an easier way to do it. Dinner can arrive without cooking. Groceries can show up at the door. A car can pick us up almost anywhere, and entertainment is available before we have even decided what we want to watch. In many ways, this is an extraordinary luxury. Convenience gives people back time, expands access and removes countless daily frustrations. But there is a strange tension hiding inside all that ease. As more parts of life become faster and more frictionless, many of us still…

Weighted triceps extensions offer a great way to grow your triceps, but the overhead nature of this movement, whether standing or even seated, can place stress on your back. Fortunately, fitness and transformation coach Travis Smith has a safe solution. Quick point: we’re not here to throw shade at traditional overhead triceps extensions. This tried and tested move hits all three heads of the triceps, exhausting the medial, lateral, and especially the long head — that’s the inner part of arm. Still, for many people, the overhead triceps extension can be uncomfortable. Straightening the arms while performing triceps extensions stretches…

Legs strong after 60? A trainer reveals the wall sit hold that signals elite lower-body power. A wall sit can light up your legs in a hurry. You slide down the wall, settle into position, and suddenly your quads and glutes have to keep you there. There’s no bouncing through reps or leaning on momentum. Your lower body has to create force and hold it. After 60, that strength carries into a lot more than exercise. Strong quads and glutes help you stand up with more pop, climb stairs with more control, and move through hills or uneven ground with…

The wellness world is always chasing the next breakthrough. A newer device, a more complicated protocol, another habit positioned as the missing piece of the longevity puzzle. And yet, researchers and physicians keep returning to one of the oldest wellness practices around: sitting in a very hot room. Sauna has become a recurring subject for experts including Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Susanna Søberg, and Dr. Stacy Sims. Their areas of expertise differ, but the reasons for their interest tend to overlap. Regular heat exposure may support cardiovascular health, recovery, stress resilience, and several of the systems involved…

Deadlifts are already hard, so why would you want to make them any harder? That’s exactly what the deficit deadlift does. More range of motion, more fatigue, and more chances for something to go wrong. That’s why the deficit deadlift often gets criticized. But when performed and programmed well, the story changes. The real question is not whether the deficit deadlift is hard. Of course it is. The better question is whether it is hard for a reason. Many experts have varying opinions on this topic, So, let’s explore the deficit deadlift so that you can make up your own…

Building a strong and steady lower body helps you stay independent as you age. After 60, it’s essential to rev up your workout game to preserve muscle, bone density, and overall quality of life. One way to start is by adding squats to your routine, because they are stellar for building leg strength, improving daily movement, and boosting joint health. Squats focus on your calves, core, glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings, all of which are necessary for standing, walking, staying balanced, and climbing steps. Once you get started, you can challenge yourself. According to Dr. Andrew Gorecki, PT, DPT, FAFS, Owner…

There’s a particular kind of quiet that happens when a room full of accomplished people watches someone’s inbox on a screen and forgets what they came to learn. I watched it happen at a conference recently — a workshop about something else entirely, derailed for ten minutes because someone’s inbox had three messages in it. Nobody asked about the actual topic. Everyone wanted to know how she did that. It’s a strange thing to watch a room chase a number. And it’s stranger still once you know that the number was never the point. What “Inbox Zero” Was Actually Supposed…

Martin “The Martian” Fitzwater is looking to make a better showing of himself after a disappointing fifth-place finish at the 2025 Mr. Olympia final. And, with an early qualification to the 2026 event in Las Vegas, Fitzwater is building momentum by leaning into novel moves such as the cable Nordic curl. While this exercise requires some setting up, the big man says that it has become his favorite hamstring go-to. So here’s how to try it for yourself. “Cable Nordic Curls? Romanian Chair Hamstring Curls? I don’t know what you call it, but this is a new favorite of Brett…
