  • State of Health Podcast #21: Longevity Through Physical Activity with Ian MacLeod (@stoicmobility) (YouTube)

    On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Ian MacLeod also known as @stoicmobility on Instagram. After hearing my State of Health podcast episode with Wes Hendricks, Ian reached out to have a conversation about health span and longevity. As a 16 year veteran in the fitness industry, including opening his own world class training facility Nirvana Strength in Bali, Ian has a lot of insight on how to take a holistic approach to training with the goal of longevity. A key insight shared by Ian was to think of your health and longevity goals in the same way as your competition or performance goals. Have a target in mind of what you want your health to look like and break it down to individual achievable steps to work toward. We also discussed injuries and how to mitigate them, how Ian himself keeps his body mostly pain free, we talked about the importance of cultivating a deep sense of awareness of your body and the need for an additional outside perspective on your movement quality from a coach’s eye. I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will get many useful tips about your personal health journey by listening in.

    QUESTION — Have you thought about what kind of physical abilities you want your 70/80/90 year old self to be capable of?
