A day is always a blank slate.

It's merely a measurement of time.

Whether you make it a happy day, or a not-so-happy one, is up to you.

What most people don’t know is that every year, when the weather starts to turn cooler in the Northern Hemisphere, signals from your DNA automatically trigger hormones in your body that slow your metabolism and make you cling to every calorie you take in.

This has been going on for eons and it used to serve us well as this is how humans survived brutal winters.

But it no longer serves us.

❄️ Winter Phase 1: Week 1

If you want to find out more about exactly what this “metabolic slowdown” is and how you can prevent it, well, you already have everything you need to create your "Ideal Body" and life.

Recall that your "Ideal Body" is the leanest, strongest, happiest version of you.

You have the training plan, the nutrition blueprint, recovery strategies, world-class coaching, and no-nonsense accountability.

The only thing you need to do is put rubber to road.

In other words, just do the work.

That's it.

Now, I had a few thoughts as we start a brand-new 12-week training program.

You are unlikely to change unless you are challenged.

There's no improvement without an investment.

If you want to achieve more you have to be willing to do more and be willing to become more.

Please take a few minutes to update me on your progress.

One more thing worth sharing with you.

In my 50s I feel as good as I ever have. I'm strong and lean and capable of doing pretty much whatever I want... skiing, riding bikes, standup paddleboarding, running around with my kids, etc.

But, truth be told, I can't train exactly like I did in my 20s.

That wouldn't work. I'd just be sore and injured all the time.

I have to train smarter now.

And you do too.

Precise sequencing and exercise execution, exactly like I've built into the program you're looking at right now.

Better variations of the main movement patterns.

(Tricks I wish I knew 30 years ago.)

But if you train with an intelligently designed program and in the way I teach, you can build a lean, strong, and athletic body at any age.

For example, if you want great results your workouts need to be shorter.

The ones in this training phase will take you just 45 minutes to complete.

Follow my system and you'll be in and out of the gym in less than an hour... while the rest of the world is still warming up.

Like you, I've got things to do, people to see, and a legacy to leave.

You don't have time to spend all day in the gym.

There's so much more to life.

Become the lean-and-strong person you're meant to be.

Here's to a great phase,

Coach Joe
