Feel Strong, Capable, & Mobile in Your Body
#StrongForLife for the Everyday Athlete
A strength & conditioning program combining smart strength training & nourishing conditioning with the most effective (& time saving) methods of flexibility/mobility in just 3-4 hours per week.
GET STRONGER & MORE FLEXIBLE AT THE SAME TIME
This program might be for you if...
- 1You worry about injuring yourself. Nagging aches & pains can be scary! The LAST thing you want is to be unable to train because of an injury.
- 2You are constantly questioning your program. Are you focusing on the right things? Are these the BEST things to build strength? Should you stretch more? Should you add weight, reps, or sets?
- 3You don't have time to program for yourself. You're smart. You could do a bunch of research to figure out how to train in a way that builds strength, but what if you could save all that time and uncertainty and focus on what matters most? Showing up consistently.
- 4You want to get stronger while also doing what's best for your body. Most programs can build strength, but they can also destroy your joints in the process. You've been there, done that, and want to build incredible strength AND durable joints at the same time.
- 5You want to work towards a goal. Finding the balance between staying strong & also sane in your approach to training can be tricky when you're all-or-nothing.
- 6You know cardio is important, but are unsure how to plan or progress it safely. You value the benefits of cardio but are unsure how to train it in a way that both progresses while keeping your joints safe.
How does the program work?
#StrongForLife focuses on three key areas essential to keeping you healthy and well and strong. Most importantly, when you focus on the right things in the right order you get stronger sans injury.
EXPOSE & ADDRESS WEAK LINKS
Continually building & expanding the foundation of your strength & conditioning potential is essential to building a bulletproof body ready for any adventure. Weak links are holes in your armor that make you vulnerable to injury, typically in flexibility, directional strength, strength endurance, and/or strength balance. You'll continually be challenging these capacities so that you can push hard when you need, recover faster, to AND know when to hold back.
STRENGTH & POWER
Life is easier with strength. You'll work towards building strength that lasts for life (what you can do) and increasing power (how fast you can do it) in a way that makes sense for the everyday athlete. And when you build strength throughout your entire ranges of motion, that's called MOBILITY, which you'll enjoy in the freedom in which you can live your strongest life.
STRENGTH ENDURANCE
You'll build your strength endurance capacity - how long you can be strong. It's common to be strong for short amounts of time, but what about for an all-day hike, a multi-day ski weekend, or lifting furniture to rearrange your house or move? When you train strength endurance in the right way, it's much more fun (because you are strong) and doesn't suck!
#STRONGFORLIFE SKILLS
Can you get up and down off the ground without your hands? Can you sit comfortably in the bottom of a squat for 10-20 min to change a tire or play with your (grand)kids? Could you lift your body with one leg or pull yourself up if you needed to? Can you carry all the groceries in one load? Can you run a mile without dying if you wanted to? #StrongForLife intentionally trains these key skills to living a strong life using - Turkish Get-Ups, single leg squat progressions, hanging, carries, smart conditioning, pull-up progressions, and push-up progressions.

What everyday athletes are saying:
My mobility and movement quality is better
I knew I was avoiding exercises that would be beneficial to my long-term health... my mobility and movement quality is better. I got over my aversion to doing cardio - I actually enjoy it! My cardio capacity and power is greater.
CLAUDIA // @home
I feel a LOT better and stronger in my every day movements
Little things like picking up the kids and stepping out o the car. I know those are little things but I can feel the difference.
DANIEL // @gym
Look at my squat. I can't believe this is me!
I just had to share my squat set today! I am soooo happy with this! This is the first time since March 2020 I loaded up a bar and tried it. The depth and form! I can't believe this is me! Thank you, thank you, for your support and programming. I never ever thought I could do this!!!
MELANIE // @gym
I'm seeing improvement in things I didn't even realize were things...
I have more flexibility and I'm overall more comfortable in my body and that's a good thing. It's a template program, but I didn't feel like it was a template... it surprised me how much I love conditioning. I don't actually hate running. Turns out I was approaching it wrong.

#StrongForLife Strength & Conditioning Program
#StrongForLife is a monthly, progressive strength & conditioning program built with your joints and your health in mind. It is the simplest way to get (and stay) strong, mobile, and pain-free at the same time. Here's how it works.
- 1Get stronger in <4 hours per week. You'll perform three strength workouts lasting 45-60 minutes each week designed to get you stronger, more flexible, and in better condition @home or @gym, at the same time
- 2Sleep better and recover faster. When you build conditioning that doesn't suck, it helps you de-stress, so you recover faster, so you can work harder, longer, and faster in one 30-45 minute conditioning workout per week.
- 3Get more flexible and mobile while you train. You'll be getting more flexible and mobile while you train AND the results STICK (instead of feeling better for a few minutes and then feeling tight again), saving hours of precious time, energy, and effort.
- 4No more fluff. Follow targeted warm-ups and cool-downs that prime you to get the most out of each days session and help turn on recovery mode ASAP when the workout is done.
- 5Stronger now AND later. Each month you'll work on a #StrongForLife skill - the essential strengths you need to have and keep to be active and adventurous in your 90s. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Frequently Asked Questions
@home you need a pair of DBs, a step or bench, a band, & preferably a TRX/suspension straps OR pull-up bar (but not required)
@gym needs a barbell, rack, bench/box, pull-up bar or TRX/suspension straps, & a cable machine (or bands)
You'll get the best results if you have at least 6-months of lifting experience with DBs or barbell.
First - if you have major aches/pains on the regular during squats, deadlifts, push-ups, or presses, I may want to clear you first before this program. Click here to schedule a complimentary face-to-face video call with me to see if this is the best fit for you.
Otherwise - there are variations for EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE listed to fit your equipment & joint needs. So if there is a jump, for example, and you cannot jump, I will tell you EXACTLY what to do instead.
Every single movement includes variations (with videos) to adapt to your level - even if that is progressing.
The videos are included also so you always know HOW to do the movement.
