The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

Are you tired of constant aches, limited mobility, and feeling like your best years are behind you? In this week’s episode, I chat with Jonathan Haas, who reveals how men over 40 can overcome such challenges by building functional strength, improving daily mobility, and adopting a warrior mindset.
Jonathan is a long-time fitness trainer, martial artist, and founder of the Warrior Health System. We dive into functional strength training, mobility routines, and mental resilience for older men. Jonathan describes how functional fitness, daily mobility workouts, and martial arts training can transform your health, boost your strength, and help you maintain vitality well into your later years.
He explains how dedicating just 10 minutes a day to joint mobility exercises can improve joint health, reduce pain, and enhance flexibility. He also suggests focusing on functional fitness through kettlebells, club bells, and bodyweight exercises, as it can build real-world strength that translates into better performance in daily activities.
Jonathan emphasizes the importance of recovery to stay injury-free and promote muscle growth. We explore the mental side of fitness and discuss how martial arts can benefit anyone, no matter their age or experience, by boosting their physical fitness and mental discipline.
