Manage episode 519874630 series 3644595
At what point did we stop being capable?
When did running upstairs start feeling like a sprint?
When did climbing a tree with our kids become a risk instead of a reflex?
In this episode, Keir Wotherspoon, performance coach and founder of LIFT Performance Academy, breaks down what it really means to stay athletic for life — not “fit,” not “in shape,” but truly ready for anything.
Keir shares the story of a father who couldn’t show his son how to swing on the monkey bars — and how that moment quietly exposes the truth about most men over 40.
He also reveals how another client went from 290 pounds and out of breath after five minutes of football… to running a marathon within a year, alcohol-free and a hundred pounds lighter.
