From my Canadian physiotherapist this week, for anyone looking for a basic workout:
I want to be strong at 93. But I don't want to spend the next 60 years in the gym.
My goal isn't to spend my life working out. It's to exercise enough that I can spend my life living.
Playing with my kids. Travelling. Playing sports. Staying strong, mobile and independent well into my 80s and 90s.
So today, I thought I'd share something a little different:
My exact workout routine right now.
And it might be a lot less than you'd expect.
Here's what my week looks like:
MONDAY — Chest + Back
→ Bench Press or Push-Ups
→ Bent-Over Rows
Bench Press + Bent Over Rows
TUESDAY — Legs + Shoulders
→ Weighted Squats
→ Shoulder Press
Squats + Shoulder Press
WEDNESDAY — Arms
→ Bicep Curls
→ Tricep Pushdowns
Bicep Curl + Tricep Push-Downs
THURSDAY — Accessory Muscles
→ Calf Raises
→ Shrugs
Heel Raises + Shrugs
FRIDAY — Upper Body
→ Bench Press or Bent-Over Rows
SATURDAY — Lower Body
→ Deadlift or Squat
SUNDAY — Rest 
And throughout the week, I sprinkle in:
10–20 minute brisk walks after lunch when I can.
🧘 5 minutes of stretching and mobility before bed.
That's it.
No two-hour gym sessions.
No complicated workouts with 12 different exercises.
Most days, my strength workout is literally one or two exercises.
The bigger point
Now, is this the "perfect" workout routine?
Of course not.
There are things I could add. More cardio. More balance training. More mobility. More exercises.
But I've learned something over the years:
The best workout routine isn't the one that looks perfect on paper.
It's the one that fits into your actual life.
Especially in this season of my life, with two young kids, work, family and everything else going on, this is what works for me.
And because it's simple, I can actually stay consistent with it.
That's what I want you to take away from this email.
You don't need to build your life around exercise.
Build an exercise routine that supports the life you want to live.
Stay strong
