  • Welcome to Aging Strong: Rewriting the Second Half of Life
    Dec 13 2025

    Welcome to Aging Strong with Hugo—a podcast for those who refuse to accept that getting older means slowing down. Hosted by Hugo, author, father, and former sniper in the Portuguese Army, this show explores what it means to rebuild strength, purpose, and identity in the second half of life.

    Through conversations on fitness, mindset, reinvention, and real-world trial and error, we also confront the difficult parts: starting over, reclaiming your health, and finding direction after life’s hardest curveballs. This is about resilience, showing up again after setbacks, and choosing progress over comfort.

    If you’re ready to face the years ahead with strength, purpose, and unstoppable energy, follow the show and join the journey. This is just the beginning.

  • Episode 19 - Reflections Under Load: Awareness, Drift, and Course Correction
    Dec 8 2025

    This episode is a quiet but important pause.

    Rather than revisiting highlights or chasing motivation, this conversation focuses on self-observation—noticing patterns, signals, and small shifts that often go ignored. From changes in training discipline to comfort behaviors under stress, the episode treats these moments not as failures, but as feedback.

    You’ll hear reflections on:

    • How stress shows up indirectly in daily habits
    • The difference between intentional recovery and unconscious drift
    • Why “cruise control” can quietly derail projects and consistency
    • The value of grounding through simple, physical actions
    • Adjusting course without drama, guilt, or overreaction

    At its core, this episode is about agency with restraint—learning to respond instead of reacting, and choosing correction over intensity.

    For listeners navigating training, creative work, or life transitions, this episode serves as a reminder: awareness is not passive, and small adjustments compound.
