I heard this highly motivational Joe Rogan clip when I was in a darker place of my life many years back. 40+lbs overweight, drinking too much, moving too little, letting things slip. It helped get me moving again. I hope it does the same for you.

In this video I do 200 air squats in a row, a personal best for me at almost 49 years old.

7:30am, 30ish degrees, in the woods rather than some gym. I went on to do about 1000 air squats, 20 hill sprints and a 6 mile hike over about 2 hours this day. But when I began this type of workout it looked more like 100 air squats over 2 miles with 1 or 2 sprints. It’s when I realized I didn’t need a gym or facility to get it in. I just needed to reframe my time and my perception of exercise.

Start by doing a set of 10 air squats every .5 miles on a walk. Move up from there.

The next day do this yoga class I designed specifically for soreness after leg day: https://youtu.be/0RphoyK8HhU?si=LiwZv…
If you can’t get into a squat work into it by doing this: https://youtu.be/xeRTzv0_06w?si=mp8ie…

I have been battling this for years and plan to hit 1000 squats in a row one day. If you need help getting unstuck, getting moving even if it’s just a few times, I will be happy to coach you through it. Hit me:
