Summary

Fitness and aging expert Andrew Blakey joins Gina Livy for a conversation that cuts through the pressure to go hard or go home when it comes to moving your body. Andrew breaks down why going too hard too fast is the most common mistake, why rest is where strength is actually built, and how consistency with movement isn't about discipline, it's about identity. Don’t have to be a fitness person to be a fit person. Plus: free weights vs. machines, the squat debate, stretching order, and whether your gardening counts as a workout (spoiler: kind of, but not really).  Where to find Andrew Blakey: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewblakey/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Iamandrewblakey/ Website: https://blakeybreakthrough.com/   This episode aligns with day 53 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
