Text us a comment or question! Ever feel like your workouts have hit a wall? You’re showing up, lifting the weights, doing “all the right things”… but the results just aren’t coming like they used to? In this week’s Monday Mile episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin reveals one of the most overlooked - and most powerful - secrets to getting more out of every single workout: the mind–muscle connection . Whether you’re brand new to strength training or have been lifting for years, this simple concept can completely transform how your body responds to exercise - especially if you’re in your 50s or 60s. It’s not about heavier weights or fancy new moves… it’s about learning to feel your muscles work with purpose and precision. Here’s What You’ll Learn: What the mind–muscle connection really is (and why it’s not “woo-woo” science) How to instantly tell if you’re actually training a muscle—or just moving weight The simple mental shift that can reignite your strength and muscle growth Why this technique is especially critical for men and women over 50 Practical ways to build better focus, control, and muscle activation in every rep Why It Matters This isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing better. When you master the mind–muscle connection, you’ll get better results from the same workouts you’re already doing. Think less joint pain, better form, stronger contractions, and more visible definition.
