What if the key to lifelong fitness had nothing to do with intensity, but everything to do with sustainability?

In this episode, I sit down with David Amerland, author of the groundbreaking book Built to Last, to explore how we can make fitness a lasting part of our lives—without burnout, rigidity, or unrealistic expectations. David draws from his science and engineering background, martial arts training, and deep understanding of human behavior to deliver a customizable framework that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

We discuss:

• Why modern fitness routines often fail—and what to do instead
• How small daily habits (like taking the stairs) compound into long-term results
• The role of dopamine and emotional connection in staying consistent
• How to build a personalized routine that fits your goals, schedule, and motivation
• Why sustainability—not intensity—is the real secret to lifelong health

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this conversation will help you rethink what fitness really means—and how to make it work for your real life.
