Many of us are still searching for the fountain of youth, but most look in the wrong places. However, Chad Landers has gone in a completely different direction.

You only need to look at Landers and his clients to…
Feel stronger fast after 60, try these 5 safe seated moves you can do at home today. Building strength after 60 can feel like an uphill battle—but it doesn’t have to be. After four decades in the fitness industry, first as a group exercise instructor, then a personal trainer, and now running TRAINFITNESS, the UK’s leading educator of fitness professionals, there are few things that frustrate me more than people perpetuating the belief that old people cannot get fitter and stronger. A belief that often dooms an older adult to a shorter and less vibrant life. As we get older,…
There’s a moment in every day when the pace slackens just enough for reality to catch up. It could be right after you wake up. It could be before bed. It could be the quiet pocket between two obligations that don’t care about each other. That moment is where journaling lives. It’s also where most people say, “I don’t have time” or, “I don’t know what to write” or, “What’s the point?” I get it. Some days I skip it myself. And funny enough, those are almost always the days where everything feels a little more frayed—like I’m walking into…
Jade Henderson is not just great at pullups; she’s a world record holder. This year, the Australian police officer used some time out to get a grip on history, completing 733 pullups in just one hour. While some of us want to get closer to that elite level, others just want to crank out one solid rep. Either way, Henderson has your back with some essential tips. The Guinness World Record holder has previously explained that mastering pullups was all about finding out what her mind and body were physically capable of. Of course, this is an individual task. Some…
Want firmer arms by New Year? Do these 5 chair moves to smooth jiggle fast. Arm jiggle tends to show up when muscle mass declines faster than daily movement replaces it. After 45, the arms often lose strength and firmness because they no longer encounter consistent resistance through full ranges of motion. Long workouts and complex equipment rarely fix that issue. What does work is focused, repeatable strength training that places tension directly where it matters most. Chair-based exercises make that process easier and more effective. Sitting reduces balance demands and lower-body fatigue, allowing the arms and shoulders to work…

If you look around many commercial gyms, the decline bench press setup is as rare as hen’s teeth. But that doesn’t mean you should neglect the lower chest. The decline press has long been a favorite for targeting the lower chest, easing the burden on the anterior shoulder, and developing separation with the upper abs. However, it’s challenging to hit your lower chest hard and heavy when the setup isn’t around. But here’s the good news: you don’t need a decline bench or even a barbell to build the lower chest. What you need is innovative exercise selection and some…
No machines, no fuss, just 4 moves that make your glutes feel lifted fast. Lifting sagging glutes after 45 requires smarter training than relying on gym machines that lock your body into stiff, one-direction movements. Your glutes respond best when your hips move freely, your core stabilizes, and your legs drive power through natural standing patterns, the kind that strengthen the muscles that support your pelvis and lift your backside. When you stay upright, your glutes fire harder with every shift in weight, creating more activation than most seated or guided exercises ever generate. These standing movements challenge the full…
Some highlights from the world of mindfulness, where people are seeking connection, solidarity, and compassion in a struggling world.News storiesGood Neighbors Gea Sijpkes directs Woon- en Zorgcentrum Humanitas Deventer, a Dutch nursing home. She knew that intergenerational friendships can reduce depression and loneliness in the elderly, and she also knew there was a shortage of affordable student housing.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my 8- and 11-year-old daughters to see Wicked: For Good. We all enjoyed the first Wicked, so naturally, my girls wanted to see the second. They asked to go to the mall to pick out pink and green Glinda and Elphaba tees and hair bows to wear to the opening day of the sequel at our local theater. The showing was packed with my daughters’ elementary-aged peers, many of them clad in pink and green of their own. They’ve been dressing up as their favorite characters since they were old enough to ask…
