In a recent episode of “The MOVEMENT Movement” podcast, fitness expert (and Xero Shoes Affiliate) Karl Bratland, talks to Xero Shoes CEO Steven Sashen about the challenges of aging and how people of different ages can meet their unique fitness needs and goals.

While Karl specializes in helping busy dads achieve their fitness goals, these principles of fitness and longevity apply to everyone.

Here are the key takeaways form the conversation:

1. Adapt to Your Lifestyle:

• • Tailor your fitness routine to fit your daily life and commitments.

• • Recognize that one-size-fits-all approaches may not work in the long run.

2. Prioritize Health over Aesthetics:

• • Understand that a healthy body is more important than fitting a specific image.

3. Create Lifelong Habits:

• • Consistency is key; make exercise a natural part of your daily life.

4. Embrace Functional Fitness:

• • Focus on exercises that enhance your ability to perform daily tasks.

5. Enjoy the Process:

• • Choose fitness activities that you genuinely enjoy.

6. Set Realistic Goals:

• • Celebrate your progress along the way to stay motivated.
