Strong for Life

Robertson Training Systems

Strength & Conditioning, Functional Fitness
Coach
Mike Robertson

We all know that we SHOULD be strength training as we age.

But how much is enough?

How do you find that blend between building muscle and strength, without losing mobility?

And how do you keep lifting WITHOUT breaking your body down in the process?

If these sound like questions you're asking yourself, you need to get Strong for Life.

Now more than ever, we know that strength is a key component of physical fitness.

While endurance and conditioning are absolutely critical for longevity, you also need strength if you want to be active, healthy, and functional as you age.

But here’s the thing…you can’t take a program that works for a 20-year-old and expect it to work the same if you're 40-, 50-, 60-years-old!

Instead, you need to modify every element of the workout – from the exercises you choose, to the training frequency, and everything in between.

But here's another question you have to ask yourself...

How do you develop or maintain strength and muscle, without robbing your body of its mobility?

Strength with mobility is the real “secret sauce,” and something we’re going to work on extensively in this program.

Whether it's the exercises I prescribe, the cues that I give you, or how I warm you up, Strong for Life is going to make sure you're moving and feeling better than you have in years!

Custom Built for Trainees OVER 40
If you're over 40 and looking for a program that works for you, THIS is your program. From the exercises I choose, to the way I wave the volume and intensity, this program will meet you where you at, ease you into training, and make sure you're feeling great by the time you're done.

Joint-Friendly Training
Let's be honest...the joints don't always feel great as we age, and this program respects that. Whether it's your knees, back, hips or shoulders, this program starts off with a ton of joint-friendly exercises to unlock your body and make sure you're feeling awesome.

Expert Coaching and Cuing
Even though the program is delivered online, my goal is to make it feel like you're working with me live and in-person. To do that you'll not only get video demos of all the exercises, but I'll also provide the EXACT coaching cues I would give if you were in my gym. This way you'll know exactly how to do every exercise in the program!

Alternative Exercises When Needed
If you came to IFAST and worked with me, we'd have every piece of equipment under the sun. But what if you don't have everything in YOUR gym? For almost every exercise I've provided an alternative exercise or implement you can use instead. It may not always be an exact match but this way you'll still be able to follow the program to the best of your ability!

Lifetime Access
When you purchase my Everyday Athlete workouts, you'll have LIFETIME ACCESS to the program. I can't tell you how many people I've coached over the years who fall in love with one of my programs, and then end up using it every year because they love how they feel after doing it. So buy it once and then use it as many times as you like!

FAQs
I'm really stiff...is there mobility work in this program?
YES! Not only do we have an extensive warm-up for you to follow, but the entire workout is geared towards unlocking your mobility as well.
I haven't trained in a while...will this program be okay for me?
Absolutely. I always tell people to be smart at the start - go light on weights, feel things out, and don't try to crush it your first week back. But absolutely you can jump into this program after a long lay-off and be okay!
I'm looking at your Everyday Athlete program...which should go first?
If you're looking to use a few of my programs back-to-back, I'd recommend Strong for Life first. It will help unlock your body, get you a training base, and then afterwards you can move seamlessly into the Everyday Athlete which has a better more emphasis on speed, power and conditioning.
