Bill Hartman on Building a Powerful and Pain-Free Body after 40

Bill Hartman is known for finding solution for people in pain that have failed with other forms of treatment. He’s the owner of IFAST Physical Therapy, and my business partner at Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training.

He’s also the author of the upcoming book, All Gain – No Pain: The Over 40 Comeback Guide to Rebuilding a Fit and Pain-Free body.

Beyond the bio, look I can talk about how bright Bill is, but that doesn’t really do him justice. More importantly, he’s one of the most passionate, curious, and motivated individuals I’ve ever met when it comes to learning and understanding the body, and I’m blessed to call him a good friend and mentor.

In this wide ranging show, Bill and I talk about the daily rituals he uses to set up his day, why being strategic with your training intensity is crucial as you age, and why planning, execution and consistency are the real keys to any successful body transformation.
