In college athletics, attention gravitates toward the visible: the head coach pacing the sideline, the star player under stadium lights, the results posted on scoreboards and social feeds. What rarely makes headlines is the work happening quietly in the background—the conversations without cameras, the mentorship without metrics, the leadership that doesn’t announce itself until years later. Yet it’s often this unseen work that determines whether a program merely wins or truly endures. Robby Emery has spent much of his life operating in that space. A pastor, public speaker, and Michigan Football’s Director of Character Development, Emery doesn’t measure success in…
Using tools like resistance bands offers constant tension for your arms. Working with dumbbells after 50 is a stellar way to tone your arms and build lean muscle. These fitness tools provide resistance and firm your triceps, biceps, forearms, and shoulders. But there’s more than one way to accomplish this, and we’re here with a plan. We learned four standing exercises from Karen Ann Canham, CEO and founder of Karen Ann Wellness. This workout will address your arm jiggle even faster than dumbbells after 50. They’re easy to do and can be performed anywhere that’s convenient for you. “After 50,…
Dance isn’t just one of the most insanely fun workouts—it’s also a complete confidence and resilience builder. I know this because I learned to shuffle dance in 2019, and it has shifted every single area of my life—from physical fitness, to body image, to mindset, to courage.I can bet you’ve seen dancers all over the internet (probably shuffling, honestly—the dance has taken a major leap online since 2020!). You think, “That looks fun,” followed immediately by, “But I could never.” At first, I was that girl too.But on a total whim, I decided to stop watching and just give it…
I like to say that when it comes to boosting fitness and achieving peak physique, your time in the gym is only half the battle. The other huge part of the equation is what you decide to (or not!) eat. Reaching for the right foods after some pec pumping is nearly as important as the activity itself. A body under stress from going big on the weights is constantly working to repair and rebuild itself, and obtaining the right nutrition from smart post-workout food choices is key to helping your battle worn muscles repair themselves and making them stronger and…
Rebuild leg strength after 65 in 8 minutes with this chair routine, try it 4 days a week. After 35 years as a personal trainer and over 20 years of running personal training courses in London and across the UK, I’ve heard almost every excuse going as to why people don’t want to train. Ones I hear over and over are that people don’t know where to start, gyms are busy, and the equipment looks overwhelming. Fortunately, it’s possible to start at home using only a chair and build a really solid base for the rest of your fitness journey.…
While the challenges of mindfulness practices are real, research confirms that mindfulness can also be helpful in preventing relapses into depression and reduce healthcare visits.Willoughby Britton, a psychiatrist and mindfulness practitioner, has researched what he terms the “difficult or challenging mind states” among advanced meditators and scholars that can occur as a result of intense meditation practice.The challenges of mindfulness are real. The truth is, meditation is not all calm and peace. Mental material can come up that can be uncomfortable or need to be addressed.Britton spoke generally with Mindful about how mindfulness has been marketed in this country as…
Most growth problems don’t announce themselves as mindset problems. They show up as packed calendars, endless email, and a sense that you’re always behind—even when things look successful from the outside. Revenue increases, the team grows, and the workload somehow expands to match it all. The assumption is obvious: this is what growth feels like. But that assumption is rarely questioned. What struck me in my conversation with Brad Farris was how often agency owners confuse motion with leadership. When the pressure increases, so does the instinct to move faster—to answer everything, fix everything, and stay endlessly available. It feels…
WWE’s Undisputed Champion, Drew McIntyre is chiseled like a Greek god, but he’s agile too. At 6’5”, and 275 pounds plus, he can just as easily clobber you with one of his huge fists as blast you with a flying “Claymore Kick.” Indeed, when wrestling in a different town every night, against the larger-than-life superstars of WWE, a special set of tools is required. You need to be strong yet flexible, lean yet full of stamina and, of course, totally unwilling to quit. So, when I was given the opportunity to get into the gym with the big man from…
Rebuild strength without joint stress, try these 4 seated moves from a CSCS. Muscle loss after 60 doesn’t happen overnight. It builds slowly through missed movements, reduced loading, and routines that no longer challenge the nervous system. The fix isn’t about grinding harder workouts or piling on heavier weights. It’s about giving your muscles a reason to stay active, responsive, and strong through consistent, well-placed movement. Seated exercises are effective because they remove balance constraints while still allowing you to generate muscle-building power. When you’re supported, you can focus on tension, range of motion, and quality reps instead of worrying…
If parenting came with a manual, the section on kids’ vitamins would still be full of footnotes, mixed messages, and at least one heated debate in the comments section. Bright gummies, cartoon characters, sugar posing as fruit flavor. Suddenly, choosing a vitamin feels more complicated than packing a school lunch your kid will actually eat. That is why we went to someone parents already trust and actively seek out. Dr. Joel Gator Warsh, widely known as Dr Gator, is a board certified integrative and holistic pediatrician who has become a leading voice in modern parenting and children’s wellness. He is…
