5 Proven Methods to Improve Health and Live Longer, According to a Personal Trainer

I’ve competed on TV, trained elite athletes, and helped hundreds of people transform their lives. But when it comes to staying young, mobile, and strong well into your 40s, 50s, and beyond, resistance training is the real deal. 

There are many fitness tools designed to help maintain and improve fitness for everyone, including those 30+. Did you know that after 30, we start losing up to 5% of our muscle mass per decade? By the time you're 50, you might look "in shape" but feel slower, weaker, and older. 

Here are the 5 strategies I use to help my clients feel younger, move better, and unlock decades of energy and why ampTM is the ultimate tool to get there.

1. Resistance Training Is the Real Fountain of Youth 

Muscle isn’t just for show; it’s metabolic gold. Resistance training improves insulin sensitivity, boosts metabolism, protects bone density, and reduces inflammation. I’ve seen clients in their 50s move and feel better than they did at 30, just by lifting consistently. And muscle mass is essential for weight loss–especially with the use of weight loss injections that make fat burning less effective. 

ampTM turns this principle into a lifestyle. Its AI coach builds smart workouts based on your goals, then adapts intensity automatically as you improve. It feels like training with a world-class performance team in your living room. And yes, that includes celebrity coaches hyping you up while you train.

2. Get Workout Tools that Blend in With Your Decor (Yes, That Matters) 

One of the most common excuses I hear from clients? "I don't want gym gear cluttering up my space." Fair.

ampTM solves that with incredibly sleek design. It’s wall-mounted, compact, and looks like modern art. The first time I installed one in my house, visitors asked if it was an interactive sculpture.  It’s so low profile that it fits into any space. It takes up so little space that no one can believe that it’s actually engineered for workouts. When your gear looks this good, you actually want to use it.

More than once, I’ve finished a workout and felt proud to leave the device right there, front and center. It turns your home into a wellness space without sacrificing your vibe.

3. Stay Consistent with My Workouts for True Health Transformation 

In my early days, I chased punishing workouts. I thought going all-out was the secret sauce. Spoiler: it's not. Consistency is everything.

ampTM makes strength training easy to stick with. It lives on your wall and takes literal seconds to start. No driving, no gym smell, no decision fatigue. Even on low-energy days, I can jump in, follow a session, and walk away feeling recharged.

Plus, there are built-in challenges and programs that make it feel like a game. It’s addicting in the best way. I’ve even caught myself squeezing in a quick pull session between Zoom calls.

4. Keep Track of My Progress Easily (Without an Overly Complicated App) 

I used to make clients log sets, reps, and rest, and let’s be honest, no one loved it. But tracking matters. It tells your brain (and body) that progress is happening.

ampTM does all of this seamlessly. It tracks your resistance, reps, tempo, and even rest times, then adjusts the program to keep you progressing. I once plateaued on a pulling movement, and the ampTM algorithm nudged the intensity just right to break through. No guesswork, just gains.

5. Holistic Recovery Is Longevity Magic 

Injuries taught me the hard way that recovery isn’t optional. After blowing out my shoulder on a Ninja Warrior course, I became obsessed with sleep, hydration, and recovery metrics.

That’s why I love how ampTM tracks personal fitness progress for you. It gives you real data on your readiness and skills, so you can know where to improve and where to relax. Then you can adjust your training and nutrition yourself. 

Your Longevity Game Plan Starts Now

By prioritizing resistance training and using powerful fitness devices, you can boost your health and reinvigorate your body in real time. But ampTM isn’t a gadget. It’s a lifestyle accelerator. A longevity multiplier. And for me, it’s become the non-negotiable part of my daily routine. Aging is inevitable. But how you age is up to you.
