  • Never Quit The Gym Again: How To Stay Active (Even With Injuries)
    Apr 23 2026

    The crushing guilt of missing a workout. Tonight, we dive deep into the psychology of active adults and the 'slippery slope' that turns one missed session into a year on the couch. Whether you're focused on overcoming injuries and pain free living or simply maintaining fitness as an active adult: understanding the difference between quitting and recovering is key.


    In this episode of the Past Your Prime Podcast, pro volleyball player Alex Keicher and physical therapist Craig Smith discuss the 'bedtime knockout' and why your body sometimes forces a shutdown. We also touch how to identify physical cues that might be signs of overtraining.


    Don't let a blip in your routine stop your momentum. This is your midlife fitness comeback: learn how to operationalize your recovery, get back to the gym with confidence and refine a system so you can stay active for life.
