Foundations 50+ Functional Strength

Look, I know how it goes. You're in your 50s or 60s and suddenly things that used to be easy - hauling groceries, lifting your grandkid, even getting up from the floor - feel like a chore. Your body doesn't cooperate like it used to, and most fitness programs either talk to you like you're made of glass or expect you to train like a twenty-year-old athlete.

I designed this 6-week program for people like you who just want to feel capable again. Three days a week, 25 minutes a day. You'll need some dumbbells and a resistance band - that's it. We'll rebuild the kind of strength that matters: being able to carry heavy things without grunting, get up without pushing off your knees, play with your grandkids without paying for it tomorrow.

It's not about six-pack abs or running marathons. It's about loading your own luggage at the airport. Carrying all the grocery bags in one trip. Getting off the floor after building LEGO with your grandson. Real strength for real life.

Hundreds of folks the same age have done it. Mark, 58, told me he finally loaded his suitcase overhead without help for the first time in years. Susan, 61, said she can play on the floor with her granddaughter without worrying how she'll get back up.

For $97, you get the whole 6-week program through the TrainHeroic app. If after 30 days you don't feel noticeably stronger doing everyday things, I'll refund you - no hassle, no hard feelings.

This isn't about turning back the clock. It's about feeling capable right now, in the body you have today. Let's get started.
