Training Library
The fitness industry has a noise problem. More content exists about how to train than any person could consume in a lifetime — programs, protocols, exercises, splits, techniques, arguments about rep ranges and rest periods and whether you should squat deep or parallel.
Most of it is contradictory. A meaningful portion of it is wrong. With many trying to create a problem to then sell you a solution for.
And very little of it starts from the question that actually matters: what does your body need to move well, get stronger, and stay healthy over the long term?
The honest answer is less complicated than the industry suggests.Your body needs to be challenged with resistance to build and maintain muscle. It needs cardiovascular work to keep the heart and lungs strong. It needs mobility and flexibility to stay functional and injury-resistant over time.
It needs adequate recovery between sessions to actually adapt to the work being done. And it needs consistency over years — not perfect programming, not optimal periodization, not the latest protocol — just showing up regularly and doing the work.
Unglamorous, unsexy, and hard to sell, but it’s the truth.
This library is organized around the categories of physical training that produce the most meaningful returns for the most people — resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and stretching.
I built this library the way I wish someone had handed it to me when I started — organized clearly, written honestly, without the agenda of selling a program or validating a particular methodology.
Use what’s here as a foundation and build on it over time.
cardiovascular exercises
Consistent cardiovascular exercise improves heart health, metabolic function, cognitive performance, and longevity.
This section covers the fundamentals — from walking to steady state cardio — and gives you what you need to build it into your practice.
resistance training exercises
Building and maintaining muscle is one of the most impactful things a person can do for their long-term health — for strength, metabolic health, bone density, and functional capacity as you age.
This section covers the movements that matter, organized by muscle group and pattern.
stretching exercises
Consistent stretching maintains the range of motion that keeps training safe and effective over time, supports recovery, and reduces injury risk. This section covers the fundamentals of both static and dynamic stretching.
anatomy
Understanding how the body is built changes how you train it. This section covers the major systems and muscle groups — giving you the context that makes everything else in the Training Library more useful.
