Project Swagger with Robin Arzón

You need a delightfully unserious routine. Here's why.  We live in an age where we're encouraged to become so optimized that we can take ourselves out of whimsy and joy. But I don't believe we should wait for a vacation or even a weekend to feel joy. I believe it's possible to ritualize whimsy into our ordinary Tuesdays. Today: the parts of my routine that exist purely for joy, and why you should embrace your cringe.  Plus: I answer your questions on what a decade of your letters has meant to me, and share exactly how I keep lifting heavy during the final weeks of marathon training.

Stop resisting jealousy. It’s data. I used to feel jealous all the time. I felt jealous of people I loved and was cheering for. But I didn’t let those feelings turn into resentment. I turned them into action.  Today: why you need to make a jealousy list. I’ll share the questions I ask myself to make use of my envy, and my strategies for snapping out of a comparison spiral. Plus: how to avoid a crash after your morning long run, and why strength training will not make you bulky.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Real talk: hitting your daily steps is not having the effect on all-cause mortality that you want it to. I love that we're getting those step counts up, but I’m concerned that as we’ve been conditioned to chase duration, we're missing a crucial longevity lever: bursts of vigorous exercise.  Today: why this is a lever you can’t afford to ignore, mind-blowing new research on vigorous activity vs. light exercise, and how you can integrate vigorous activity into your weekly routine without adding minutes to your workouts. I know your to-do lists are already long, y’all.  Plus: I answer your questions on how to make training progress when you’re injured, and how to warm up and cool down effectively with limited workout time.

We’re back to school, y’all, and I’m not just getting my kids ready. In this episode, I’m sharing the five resets I’m going through this week with my family and myself to organize the chaos. All the details on how I’m rebooting the family operating system (yes, I gave Claude access to my calendar and it changed my life), majoring in the majors, and giving my kids real ownership of their mornings. Plus: I'm answering your questions from the macros episode (should you track gels and powders?), settling what kind of potato girly I am, and finally breaking down my full AM/PM magnesium routine. Have a wellness question for me? Leave a message at 1-877-ALL SWAG and I'll try to answer it in an upcoming episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What’s it like to reach the peak of your career — and have to start over? Sanya Richards-Ross had to ask herself that question when she retired from track years ago, after winning four Olympic gold medals and setting a record it would take 19 years for someone else to break. Now an entrepreneur, Emmy winner, and mom of three, Sanya Richards-Ross has a lot to teach us about the art of building your second act.  My favorite lesson from this interview? Greatness isn’t fleeting. The same skills you’ve built in one lane of your life will apply to another. Hear how Sanya put that mantra into practice in our full conversation.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
