#590 Prescribing Movement as Medicine w/ coach Kevin Carr

This week, Joe welcomes coach Kevin Carr to the Industrial Strength Show! Kevin is the co-founder of the Certified Functional Strength Coach certification and "Movement as Medicine" Massage & Movement Therapy Clinic. He has nearly 20 years of coaching experience, working with everyone from Olympic athletes to average Joes. In this episode, Joe and Kevin cut through the confusing fitness advice online and share practical ways to improve strength, cardiovascular fitness and overall health. Specific topics include: How to restart training after a layoff — and build habits that stick; how & why to administer the 2-mile max aerobic speed test; whether age is really "just a number"; how exercise selection, frequency, and intensity should evolve as you get older; sprinting after 40; exercises to avoid versus movements everyone can/should do; and progressive programming for large groups. Kevin also discusses his new book, Prescribing Movement as Medicine, who it's for, and what readers can expect! *For a full list of Show Notes with Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.   IMPORTANT LINKS Follow @coachkevincarr on Instagram Prescribing Movement as Medicine (NEW book!)
