Summary
In our mid-40s, we knew we’d be some of the older competitors on The Amazing Race - a famously grueling show in which teams of two travel the globe conquering physical (and sometimes mental and emotional) challenges. We wanted to be as ready as possible and in the next few weeks we’re going to be sharing some of our favorite workouts that can be done in a gym or at home. Even if you aren’t training for a grueling reality competition, these movements will help you feel more equipped to handle the challenges of everyday life.
We interviewed Taylor Pope, DPT, FDNP, Owner of Chain Effect on this week's podcast to launch this blog series and here’s the headline: YOU CAN GET STRONGER AS YOU AGE. Statistically, yes, we’re at a disadvantage to gain strength and improve athletic performance with every time we circle the sun but IT CAN BE DONE. The team at Chain Effect crafted workouts that helped us get ready for every situation the Race threw at us. And now Chain Effect is sharing these workouts with you!

About the Holderness Family : Penn, Kim, Lola, and Penn Charles Holderness create original music, parodies, and Vlogs for YouTube and Facebook to poke fun of themselves and celebrate the absurdity in circumstances most families face in their day to day life. They published "Christmas Jammies" in December 2013 and life hasn't been the same. Since then, their popular parodies, "All About That Baste", "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have received national news coverage. Penn, the Dad, took a chance and left his job as a news anchor to join his wife Kim, the Mom, at their video production and digital marketing company, Greenroom Communications, LLC. Lola and Penn Charles are always happy, respectful and eat all of their vegetables (that last sentence is a lie).

| 0:00.0 | Happy New Year. I'm Kim Holderness. And I've been Holderness and this is the Holderness |
| 0:08.8 | Family Podcast 2023 version. I was about to like... |
| 0:14.8 | Three. And that was... if I can offer feedback, that was like really podcasty and like radio. |
| 0:21.9 | You went like full radio on that. Thanks for the feedback. I was just trying to have |
| 0:26.2 | full energy with it being a New Year and all but thanks for the feedback. I love it. |
| 0:32.4 | No, no you don't. We just don't talk like that in real life. Well I think I was sort of |
| 0:40.5 | parodying myself there. That's not how I normally say it. Anyway. But thanks for bringing it to life. |
| 0:45.0 | Happy 2023 you guys. I hope you're doing well. Today is a good one. We were on the |
| 0:52.1 | Amazing Race in Airdblast year. And we get a lot of questions about how we got in shape and |
| 0:58.9 | got ready. We were among the older competitors. Well we were the oldest combined age ever to win it. |
| 1:05.9 | Which was... I'm very proud of that because while in general the very end is very mental and |
| 1:14.3 | it's memory based and there are a lot of things that you have to do with your relationship, |
| 1:19.7 | with your partner that will give you an advantage. It is at the core something that if you don't have |
| 1:24.4 | a decent amount of physical fitness you're at a disadvantage. So training was important. |
| 1:29.7 | And we knew going into it that we needed help. Yes. And it wasn't the sort of thing like you just do |
| 1:36.5 | like push-ups and vice-up curls and then getting in shape. We knew enough because of course |
| 1:42.2 | huge trends of the show for the entirety that there was always going to be you know caring, |
| 1:47.8 | weird stuff upstairs. Right. Or pushing a barrel up a hill. Like there's always those |
| 1:53.6 | challenges. And very rarely was it going to be oh you aren't a beef cake dude you can't do this. |
| 2:00.0 | It was more likely going to be oh you're going to get exhausted. Right. |
| 2:04.0 | From from having to do this for too long. So we are writing a series of blogs. We're going to post |
