No weights? A towel can still rebuild real arm strength after 60. A towel seems almost too simple to count as strength equipment. Then you pull against it, squeeze it, or hold tension through it for 15 seconds, and your arms quickly tell you otherwise. The resistance comes from your own effort, which makes every rep easy to adjust. That’s what makes towel training useful after 60. You can create a strong challenge without needing heavy weights and stay within a range that feels comfortable on your elbows, shoulders, and wrists. The goal is steady tension, clean positions, and enough…

I’ve spent years thinking, writing, and talking about why we procrastinate, so I came into this conversation with strong opinions already in place. What I didn’t expect was how cleanly Robin J Emdon’s framing would sharpen one of them. Most productivity advice — including plenty I’ve heard repeated for two decades — treats procrastination as a problem of systems and follow-through: the right structure, the right habit, the right nudge at the right moment. Robin’s case is that underneath the systems sits something the systems can’t touch. Procrastination is emotional — a survival instinct — and you cannot organize your…

HYROX has spent the past few years turning fitness racing into a global phenomenon, and the newly announced 2027 calendar shows just how much bigger the sport is getting. More than two million athletes are expected to compete during the 2026/27 season, up from 1.5 million the year before. HYROX will span 107 race weekends across six continents, with select events expanding into long-form residencies lasting up to 10 days to keep pace with demand. New host cities are also joining the schedule, including San Diego; Portland; Bari, Italy; and Nagoya, Japan. For athletes, that expansion creates more opportunities to…

Steadier after 60? These four trainer-approved balance moves can help. Balance affects nearly every movement you make after 60, from getting out of bed in the morning to walking across a crowded parking lot or climbing a flight of stairs. While many people believe balance begins and ends with standing on one leg, I’ve found that’s only one piece of the puzzle. As a trainer, I’ve watched clients make much faster progress by strengthening the muscles and movement patterns that support balance instead of practicing static holds alone. The result isn’t just fewer wobbles. It’s greater confidence with every step.…

Every mom has heard some version of it: just ask for help. And while the advice usually comes from a good place, it can feel frustrating when the problem is not simply needing another set of hands. The harder part is often being the person who has to notice everything, remember everything, plan everything, and then explain what needs to be done before anyone can step in. According to maternal wellness expert Dr. Nicole Kumi, PhD, PMH-C, that invisible responsibility is a major reason motherhood can feel so mentally exhausting. “The mental load is not just doing the tasks,” she…

Barbell squat variations are often the first port of call when it comes to pumping up the quads, but a recent Instagram post from Australian bodybuilder Kwame Duah has explained why a dumbbell option known as the somersault squat could be another great move for stimulating growth in the upper legs. “This is one of the awesome exercises to grow your quads,” explained Duah, while posting an IG reel for his legions of followers. The popular fitness influencer, who can also be found on YouTube and TikTok, showed that effective squats can come in all different shapes and sizes. What…

Looking to build upper-body strength after 60? Start this 10-day wall push-up challenge. A wall push-up has a low barrier to entry, which is part of its appeal. Walk to a wall, set your hands, step back, and you can start training your chest without getting on the floor. The movement feels approachable, but the right setup still engages your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. That’s what makes this challenge useful after 60. You can adjust the difficulty in seconds by changing your foot position, slowing the rep down, or adding a pause near the wall. Those small changes help…

For a very long time, I believed one of my greatest strengths was my ability to work hard.

Whether it was studying for an exam, preparing for a competition, or building my career, I trusted that if I showed up consistently and worked hard, things would eventually work out.Looking back, I don’t think there was anything wrong…

Two-time Olympia Figure champion Erin Stern may have retired from active competition, but when it comes to coaching her clients, and leaning into longevity, the buff beauty is as active as ever. Recently, Stern took to Instagram to share the moves that keep her bouncing through life, and best of all, no free weights are required. “Agility, mobility, bounce and core—these are the traits that we lose with age,” said the inspirational fitness figure. “The solution? Add in exercises that ensure you’ll continue to move with speed, flow, and control.” Here’s how to put a spring in your own step:…
