The Power of Cycling: Low-Impact Cardio for Longevity | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

9/26/2025
Cycling plays multiple roles in our quest to live longer, healthier lives. Both indoor and outdoor riding builds cardiovascular health, strengthens the lower body, and protects joints. In our latest Move for Life episode, Peter Bowes is joined by Ageless Workout fitness experts Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna to explore the pros and some of the cons of getting on your bike. They examine the trade-offs between low-impact spinning and higher-intensity classes and why controlling resistance and cadence matters; the benefits of being outdoors - exposure to the elements, vitamin D, varied terrain - while stressing safety and proper bike fit. Prostate-related pressure from prolonged seated riding is also examined, along with the importance of saddle design, and when to stand to reduce risk. You should consult your healthcare providers before starting or modifying cycling routines. ----- This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Walking: The Underrated Key to Longevity | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

9/19/2025
Let’s go for a walk! In this episode we explore the benefits of a daily activity that most of engage in – if we can - without thinking. It certainly doesn’t require a gym membership or special equipment. Fitness coaches Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explore evidence that regular walking supports cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, and lifespan—without the joint strain of running. In our latest Move For Life conversation, we discuss why technique matters: how foot strike, posture, arm swing, and appropriate footwear can enhance the benefits and reduce the risk of injury; how adding weights, poles, or varied terrain can turn walks into full-body, social workouts that build strength and balance. The takeaway: accessible, low-impact movement that fits daily life can meaningfully improve healthspan.

Push-Ups: The Ultimate Whole-Body Exercise | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

9/12/2025
Push-ups are a simple, equipment-free exercise and a practical tool to promote everyday health. Sometimes dismissed as old-school, they help us with whole-body strength, stability, and even longevity. In our latest Move for Life conversation with the Ageless Workout’s Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins we dissect form and safety, emphasizing glute and core engagement to protect the lower back, with some shared wisdom for first timers. We also explore wall, counter, and chair variations and try to cut through language confusion – distinguishing push-ups from press-ups.

The Smart Deadlift: Technique, Moderation and Mobility | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

9/5/2025
The deadlift, long seen as a raw test of human strength, has evolved from ancient feats of lifting stones and heavy objects into a cultural symbol of resilience, power, and mastery over one’s own body. Slightly less grand, yet no less important, it is best seen as a foundational movement for longevity and everyday function. The deadlift teaches us to hinge at the hips and strengthen the muscles we need to sit, stand, and lift safely. It builds grip, posture, and core stability—the qualities that protect us as we age and keep us moving well. In our latest Move For life conversation with the Ageless Workout’s Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins we explore the deadlift’s role in training the posterior chain—the back, glutes and hamstrings – while differentiating it from ‘good mornings,’ and stressing some safety-first protocols for beginners.

Lunges: The Secret to Better Balance and Coordination | Move for Life (Part 3)

8/29/2025
Lunges are a cornerstone of healthy aging - building lower-body strength, improving balance, and supporting joint health. This episode is the third in our twenty-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. Miami-based fitness coaches Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins contrast front, back, and side lunges, explaining how each targets different muscle groups and mimics gait to enhance functional movement. Shebah underscores posture, pelvic floor engagement, and proprioception as critical factors in reducing chronic pain and preventing falls, while Nate connects lunge training to real-world demands, from pickleball to travel, arguing that balance and foot placement are non-negotiable for injury prevention. We also discuss how integrating short, accessible sessions into everyday life - at home, in gyms, or even at airports - support longevity.

Strength Training: The Foundation of a Long, Healthy Life | Move for Life (Part 1) | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

8/20/2025
Setting aside fleeting trends and unproven “longevity hacks,” Live Long is returning to the fundamentals. In a new 20-part series, Move for Life, the focus is on movement and strength training — the cornerstone of healthy aging. Hosted by Peter Bowes, with Florida-based trainers Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins of The Ageless Workout, these concise, evidence-driven conversations explore proven methods to preserve muscle mass, maintain independence, and reduce frailty in later life. The series also examines strength training’s broader benefits, from boosting metabolism and bone density to enhancing cognitive function and social engagement. Listeners will find practical, actionable guidance — from safe starting points and progressive routines, to understanding the role of rest and recovery. Topics will include distinguishing normal exertion from pain, avoiding injury, and developing sustainable, lifelong habits. As always, beginning a new exercise program should be undertaken with medical clearance, following a consultation with your physician. --- This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Squats for Strength and Independence as We Age | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

8/15/2025
Squats can be hugely beneficial for healthy aging. In this episode, Ageless Workout coaches Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins focus on how squats mirror everyday movements—like standing from a chair or getting out of a car—supporting independence and strength. We discuss safe technique fundamentals, scalable progressions from sit-to-stand to air squats, time under tension, and advanced options like jump squats. In conversation with Peter Bowes, Nate and Shebah emphasize tailoring variations of a squat to individual abilities, joint health, and goals, with guidance for adding resistance when appropriate. Integrated routines, such as combining squats with walking, as Peter has discovered, can boost engagement and cardio benefits.

Step Count Science: Why 7,000 Is the New 10,000 | Melody Ding

8/11/2025
A new study is challenging one of the most pervasive messages in health and fitness: the belief that 10,000 daily steps are needed to prolong life and prevent disease. Led by Professor Melody Ding at the University of Sydney and published in The Lancet, the study is the largest of its kind, analyzing data from more than 30 studies worldwide. Its findings suggest that significant health benefits may be achieved with as few as 7,000 steps a day—an attainable target for many who find 10,000 steps daunting. In this interview, Professor Ding discusses the scientific basis for rethinking our daily activity goals, how the research caught global attention, and what it means for public health recommendations moving forward. Peter Bowes speaks to Professor Ding to unpack what this shift in guidance could mean for millions tracking their steps around the world.

How Wearables Are Reshaping Healthcare | Marco Benitez

7/31/2025
As consumer wearables track everything from our heartbeats to nightly sleep cycles, a new industry has emerged—one focused on making sense of this avalanche of personal health data. In an era when prevention is prized over cure, questions abound: How accurate is the data captured on our wrists and fingers? Can these metrics truly guide us to longer, healthier lives, or are we just generating noise? For Marco Benitez, a biomedical engineer and co-founder of the health data platform Rook, the challenge isn’t just about collecting the numbers but turning them into actionable insights—for both individuals and the broader healthcare world. As the medical establishment wrestles with integrating this torrent of information—and as users grapple with privacy and security—a revolution in health is quietly unfolding. Peter Bowes sat down with Benitez to discuss the promise and pitfalls of wearable data, the evolving relationship between Big Pharma and digital health, and what it will take to shift the system from sick care to prevention. ___ If you value our video and audio content, we would appreciate your support.
