40 and aimless...

Hello, I Love the podcast! I am in decent shape, and as a firefighter, I must stay fit. My concern is that I am all over the place. Your content about working out "randomly" is me. I don't follow any protocols I just do whatever feels right. I run, hike, swim, lift random weights, swing KBs, ride my Peloton, Etc. But taking this aimless approach has never made me feel stronger. What would you recommend for implementing structure in my routine? I need a healthy mix of strength and conditioning but I honestly make it up each day because I don't know what I'm doing. The fitness industry has led me in so many directions I'm honestly exhausted of following trends and I think less might be more.

Almost done the 12 week full body workout, now what?

Hi, Love the program. Love the Science! I’m a 45 yo woman and I’ve been lifting on/off for around 10 years. I have been training hard on your 12 week full body and have really loved it. I’ve seen strength growth, decrease in DOMS, increase in consistency. The question I have is, what should I do once I finish the program? Thanks. J

Red light therapy

Is there actual science behind red light therapy? Do conventional equipment you can access at the gym or your home actually work or is it a lesser version of that technology?

Liquid aminos?

I see different kinds of liquid aminos everywhere, what are they supposed to do and are they worth the hype? Is it like Bcaas ?

Cardio question

Hey guys! I opt for biking to work during the warm months in Canada, getting there and back home it totals about an hour and I live in a hilly area so it’s not all flat. I always hit the gym after work as well. My question is, in the months that I am biking should I still be including a short cardio session after my lifting weights? Would this be overdoing it?
