  #26 - Strength Is a Skill: Kettlebells, Bodyweight & Training for Longevity | Karen Smith

  Sep 28, 20261h 1mS1

  How hard do you really need to train to get stronger? In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by StrongFirst Master Instructor Karen Smith for a conversation about strength, kettlebells, bodyweight training and staying physically capable as we get older. Karen explains why StrongFirst treats strength as a skill to practise , rather than something that requires constantly pushing yourself to exhaustion. We discuss why more training isn’t always better, the importance of recovery, and how a minimalist approach can often produce better long-term results. We also get into: • Why you don’t need to train to failure to get strong • The difference between practising strength and simply working out • Why “less is more” when it comes to strength training • How to adjust training based on recovery and how you feel that day • Kettlebells vs conventional gym training • Why bodyweight training can build serious strength • One-arm push-ups, pistols and single-leg strength • Balance, stability, feet and unilateral training • How strength training should change as we get older • The minimum effective dose for staying strong and capable • Why women shouldn’t be afraid of lifting heavier weights • Strength, muscle and some of our concerns around GLP-1 weight-loss drugs • Why being able to control your own body may be one of the best foundations for lifelong strength Karen’s overriding message is simple: strength train — but remember that less is often more.

  #25 - My No-Nonsense Approach to Nutrition: What Actually Matters

  Sep 21, 202622 minS1

  There’s no single perfect diet. In this solo episode, I break down my personal approach to nutrition — what I believe works, what I use myself, and what I’ve found works well with clients after more than 20 years in the fitness industry. I cover: Why I prioritise real, whole foods Why I lean towards an animal-based / carnivore-ish approach Why constantly eating and snacking may be part of the problem Fasting and time-restricted eating Why hunger isn’t something you need to immediately “fix” Calories vs food quality, hunger and hormones Why I don’t believe “eat less, move more” is particularly useful advice Why strength training matters when you’re trying to lose body fat How to make nutrition simpler and more sustainable This isn’t about telling you there’s one correct way to eat. It’s about understanding the principles, finding what works for you, and moving away from overly complicated diets, tracking and restriction. If this approach makes sense to you, my No-Nonsense Nutrition course is included inside the Move Better membership.

  24 - Beyond Strength: TACFIT, Mobility & Real-World Capability | Robert Miller

  Sep 14, 202647 minS1

  What does it actually mean to be strong? In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by TACFIT Master Instructor and BJJ black belt Robert Miller to explore why traditional strength training alone may not be enough if your goal is to move well, perform better and stay physically capable for life. We discuss how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu changed Robert’s approach to strength and conditioning, why rotation and multidirectional movement matter, and how tools like clubbells, kettlebells and maces can develop qualities that conventional gym training often misses. We also get into: • Why being strong in the gym doesn’t necessarily mean you’re physically capable • What BJJ taught Robert about real-world strength • Clubbells, kettlebells and reactive strength • Strength versus mobility • Why movement variety matters • Training the nervous system, coordination and timing • Why constantly chasing heavier weights can become counterproductive • The TACFIT wave approach to intensity and recovery • How often you actually need to train • Why short, focused sessions can be enough • Training for longevity rather than just numbers • Staying capable as you get older • Why the ultimate goal should be to “die healthy” If you want to start moving better yourself, join my FREE 7-Day Move Better Challenge at MoveBetter.Club .

  #23 - Train for Life: Movement, Variety & Longevity | Ritchie Januszek

  Sep 7, 202645 minS1

  What if the biggest mistake in training is simply doing the same thing for years? In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by Ritchie Januszek, a fitness industry professional with more than 25 years of experience and a passion for exploring different ways to build strength, movement and physical capability. Ritchie’s own training has evolved from traditional bodybuilding and rugby into a much broader approach incorporating kettlebells, Bulgarian bags, clubs, maces, sandbags, stones, rope flow and more. We talk about why training should evolve as you do - and why getting stronger in the gym isn’t necessarily the same thing as becoming more capable outside it. In this episode: • Why so many people get stuck in traditional gym training • Bodybuilding versus training for movement and performance • How Ritchie’s rugby experience changed the way he thought about strength training • Why variety and experimentation matter • Training for longevity rather than simply chasing numbers • Kettlebells, Bulgarian bags, clubs, maces, sandbags and rope flow • Rotation, unilateral training and moving beyond the sagittal plane • Why exercise should still feel like play • The problem with becoming obsessed with sets, reps and numbers • When structure is useful — and when it can become restrictive • Learning to listen to your body and adapt your training • Staying strong, mobile and capable into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond The big takeaway: training doesn’t have to be rigid, boring or complicated. Explore different ways of moving, find things you enjoy, train with purpose — and build a body that can keep doing cool things for as long as possible.

  #22 - Stop Training Like a Bodybuilder | Coringa Conway on BJJ, Capoeira & Real-World Strength

  Aug 31, 202638 minS1

  What does it actually mean to be strong — and is conventional gym training really helping you perform better? In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by Coringa Conway , a BJJ black belt, Capoeira coach and strength coach with experience across MMA, strongman, Highland Games, sumo and more. We talk about why training should be built around what you actually want your body to DO — rather than simply chasing bigger muscles or bigger gym numbers. We get into: • Why strongman training transfers so well to grappling and real-world strength • Why Coringa believes bodybuilding can actually hinder athletic performance • What BJJ and MMA athletes should be doing outside of the mats • Why recovery needs to be treated as part of the programme • How Capoeira develops balance, coordination and incredible body awareness • Why martial arts may be one of the best forms of training for lifelong physical capability • The problem with machines and generic gym programmes • Why carries, kettlebells, clubs and maces are so valuable • Handstands, crawling and developing real movement skill • Why your training should always reflect your actual goal • What to do if you only have 10–20 minutes a day to train Coringa’s message is simple: figure out what you want your body to be capable of — then train specifically to become better at it.
