The way we think about exercise has changed. No longer just about sculpted muscles, fitness is now an essential tool for longevity and vitality. In this episode, we sit down with movement and exercise expert Pete McCall, who shares his journey from Capitol Hill to the fitness world, bringing decades of expertise in Pilates, the Franklin Method, somatic training, and Feldenkrais.

Pete breaks down the science of strength training for metabolic health, the importance of mobility over flexibility, and why high-intensity training (HIIT) can slow the aging process. He also emphasizes the critical role of recovery—because movement isn’t just about working out, but also about how we rest, refuel, and recharge.
