Depending on who you ask, Reps in Reserve can be a science-backed way to train hard without cutting into your recovery, or a spreadsheet-driven excuse to avoid training hard. So, which is it? If you’ve ever finished a set and thought, “I probably had two more reps left in the tank,” That’s RIR in a nutshell. The concept is solid: instead of treating every set like all-out war, you stop a rep or two short and use those reps left in the tank to manage fatigue, volume, and long-term gains. But the trouble arises when it’s left open to interpretation.…

Stand longer without fatigue, try Tyler Read’s 4 chair endurance moves today. Standing endurance after 65 fades quietly. Most people assume walking programs solve the problem, yet walking alone rarely trains the muscles to hold the body upright for extended periods. When legs tire quickly during cooking, shopping, or standing conversations, the issue usually involves muscular endurance and postural support rather than cardiovascular fitness. Chair-based exercises rebuild that missing endurance by keeping muscles under continuous, low-level tension without balance risk. Unlike walking, which cycles effort on and off with each step, seated endurance drills teach the legs and hips to…

Every January, you promise yourself this will be the year. You may think: This time, I’ll finally lose the weight, cut back on drinking, stop feeling so anxious, or fix that relationship I’ve been neglecting.   You may make it through January, but the failure rate for many New Year’s resolutions hovers around 80%. After a month or two into the new year, you might have given up on your goal and may be carrying the additional weight of disappointment and self-blame.   If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. More importantly, you may not be failing because you lack…

If you want to build real upper-body strength, a reliable dumbbell workout is a must. Bodyweight workouts can take you far, but adding resistance with extra weight is what helps strengthen your arms, back, and chest—and stay that way.Fixed and adjustable dumbbells are a great choice for external load because they’re typically easier to find and less expensive than other types of free weights, like kettlebells and barbells. Adjustable weight options also give you the flexibility to change the amount of weight when you want, and progress without needing to buy new dumbbells. They’re easy to master, even if you’re…

Training shoes have quietly become one of the most important tools in the gym. The right pair can improve stability under load, make conditioning sessions feel smoother, and hold up through weeks of hard training without breaking down. In 2025, footwear brands took meaningful steps forward by focusing less on hype and more on how athletes actually train. Stability returned as a priority, foot shape mattered again, and versatility was earned through thoughtful design rather than forced features. This round-up highlights the training shoes that delivered the most in 2025, followed by the models that show real promise heading into…

Start your morning looser, follow NASM-CPT Annie Landry’s bed stretches after 60. Foam rolling can be a great component of a warm-up, especially before strength training. It’s also excellent for targeting tight areas, such as the glutes, front of the thighs, and IT band. It can be challenging to access tight spots if flexibility and strength are limited, however. This is because foam rolling can require you to get into some challenging positions to exert the pressure needed for self-myofascial release. Foam rolling is contraindicated for some medical conditions, including osteoporosis, fractures, and neuropathy. A gentler alternative: stretching in bed.…

Dietitians share simple daily snacks that support fat loss, muscle, and metabolism after sixty. Snacking often gets a bed reputation when it comes to losing weight. Some people equate snacking with adding extra calories to your daily count. However, there is another way of looking at it. Snacking can also amp up your protein intake, while satiating cravings. As you age, selecting snacks to fuel your body can be tricky. We asked our go-to nutritionist, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian and co-author of the Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies for recommendations. Whether you…

Most people think athletes are those who train for a sport. But what if you’re already training—just without meaning to?Why Most People Don’t See Themselves as AthletesWhen I was younger, I believed that strength training—or even training hard—was only for athletes: people preparing for a competition or a race of some kind. If you played a sport, I could see how it might be useful. But I wasn’t doing any of that.I didn’t really understand why a “regular” person who studied or worked a 9–5 job would benefit from spending time training. What would they even need all that strength…
