Which supplements are worth taking after 40—and which are worth questioning? At 48, I’ve spent thousands on supplements. Here’s what I still take, what I stopped, and where I’m experimenting. After more than 150 conversations with athletes, researchers, physicians, and nutrition professionals on Ageless Athlete, I’ve become more interested in…
Climber and adventurer Timmy O'Neill calls it a “life wish”—the experiences we deliberately seek because they make us feel completely alive and present. For Timmy, that's climbing wild places with wild people. Yours doesn't have to be. The question is: what makes you feel most alive? Search “Ageless Athlete -…
Working harder isn’t always the answer. Which of these sounds familiar?
Joe Friel says the biggest mistake older athletes make in the gym is surprisingly simple: they aren't consistent enough. Strength training only works if you keep doing it. But consistency doesn't mean blindly pushing through every workout. Joe also explains why sometimes the smartest decision is recognizing, today isn't the…

Kit is an extraordinary outdoor athlete — and she'd still rather be outside than in a gym. But after stepping away from heavy strength training, she realized all those hours skiing, climbing and moving through the mountains weren't enough for what she wanted: to keep doing the things she loves…
This is an important distinction. Dr. Belinda Beck explains that while lighter resistance taken toward fatigue can stimulate muscle, bone needs a different kind of stimulus. Repeating a light load over and over isn’t the same as giving bone the higher loading stimulus that causes it to adapt. Search “Ageless…
Timmy O'Neill talks about his friend Quinn Brett—and then turns the question back on us. It's easy to be inspired by someone else's courage, resilience and determination. But what will that inspiration make you do? It doesn't have to be a mountain or some extraordinary feat. Maybe it's simply doing…
“You’re never too old to be who you might have been.” Cherie Gruenfeld's message is remarkably simple: don't wait for aging to decide what your body can do. Strength work. Walking. Balance. Keep using your body and keep giving it a reason to stay capable. You don't need to become…
