## Resource

Are you a physical liability or a protector for your family? In this high-speed "Five Minute Friday" episode, Kevin Pannell breaks down the objective strength and agility standards every man in his 40s and 50s needs to meet to stay capable and dangerous. We move beyond vanity and focus on functional fitness for men, longevity, and the discipline required to lead your home with composure. Kevin shares his personal journey of re-starting his fitness lifestyle at 40 and beginning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at 44. Now a 52-year-old purple belt, he explains how to use the "Prescribed Burn"—a physical stress-management tactic—to incinerate mental anxiety and decision fatigue before they turn into a wildfire at home or work. What you’ll learn in 5 minutes: Tier 1: A Little Dad Bod Action – The absolute "floor" for foundational strength and situational awareness. Tier 2: Do You Workout? – Developing musculature and why combat sports like BJJ are the ultimate mental anchor. Tier 3: The Athletic Guy – The elite 50+ standard for bodyweight strength, explosive agility, and total readiness. The Prescribed Burn – How to use heavy lifts and hard rounds to clear mental "brush" and lead with a quiet mind. Connect, follow, and share at https://ownmoveanchor.com/
