In this Fitness Friday episode we get into why pushing past your limits is not discipline, what rep ranges actually drive results, and how fitness is increasingly shapi...

Episode 525: Dr. Vonda Wright: Fitness Over 40 and the Strength Habits That Prevent Physical Decline
February 3, 2026 • 86 mins
Aging gets sold as this quiet slide into joint pain, low energy, and moving less because “that’s just how it goes.” The truth is far more uncomfortable: loss of strength and muscle, not age, is what actually limits people long before it needs to.

Self-doubt is often mislabeled as a confidence problem, which causes people to hesitate instead of act. The real cost is momentum, because confidence is built through action, not something you wait to feel before moving.

Most high performers don’t struggle because they lack discipline. They struggle because they’re trying to do everything at once and calling it balance.
We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Touré Roberts. We also chat about why balance is becoming whole instead of splitting yourself into percentages, the difference between losing and being a loser, and why you can’t scale without stretching.

What if the reason you’re not moving forward isn’t what you’re missing, but what you keep holding on to?
