Strength block

Resistance training

Bearmore avatar

Twenty-five minutes of focused strength work scaled for today's body. Steve has spoken about training around family life rather than for the gym mirror. Heavy enough that it counts, light enough that you can repeat it tomorrow.

Bearmore’s thoughts on doing resistance training before stretching

This is an excellent pairing because gentle stretching after strength training helps prevent stiffness, aids recovery, and feels naturally satisfying.

Floor mobility

Stretching

Steve's BJJ background shows up in the mobility round: ten minutes of floor-based movement that opens hips and shoulders the way grappling demands. Slow, unhurried, no posing. Ten minutes to undo what the lift just tightened.

Bearmore’s thoughts on doing stretching before cardio training

This can support the next activity because loosened joints and activated circulation may make transitions, strides, and breathing smoother.

Cardio training

Bearmore avatar

A walk after the lifting as the bridge into the day. Steve frames the walk as the conditioning piece for older bodies; you do not need to run to count cardio. Headphones in or out, make the route familiar.

Bearmore’s thoughts on doing cardio training before breath work

This works well because guided breathing after exertion accelerates nervous-system reset, balancing out adrenaline.

Breath work

Bearmore avatar

Ten minutes of slow breathing to settle before the rest of the day starts. Steve's BJJ register includes breathing as a recovery tool, not just a performance one. Finish here, and not on the heart-rate spike.
