What if I told you Jeff Bezos didn't lift heavy weights to get jacked at 60?

He used something called "low-impact training".

The same method that Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler rely on for their movie roles.

Here is Wesley Okerson’s genius training protocol:

Okerson’s low-impact training is built for:
• Strength
• Mobility
• Longevity
• Recovery

His system is engineered for sustainable longevity.

It works for billionaires, action stars, and anyone ageing.

The core idea:

Train hard on the muscles, easy on the joints.
Instead of deadlifts → trap bar carries
Instead of sprints → sled pushes
Instead of kipping pull-ups → controlled TRX rows
Instead of high-impact HIIT → zone 2 incline walks

Results without damage.

Low impact doesn’t mean low intensity.
It means:

• Controlled tempo
• Joint-safe angles
• Eccentric-focused strength
• Full-body movement patterns
• Minimal inflammation

It’s designed to train daily without breakdown.

As we age:

• Recovery slows (due to lower testosterone + growth hormone)
• Inflammation increases (IL-6, CRP rise)
• Tendons and fascia become less elastic
• Sleep quality declines

High-impact workouts compound this decay.
Low impact reverses it.

Bezos trains 5–6 days/week:

• 3 strength sessions (sleds, cable work, tempo reps)
• 2 cardio sessions (rucking, incline treadmill, rower)
• 1 mobility/recovery day

Every session is guided by sleep + recovery data

Muscle damage—and growth—occurs most in the eccentric phase (lengthening).

Okerson’s method focuses on:
• Slow tempo reps (3–4 second negatives)
• Controlled breathing
• High time-under-tension

This builds strength without cortisol spikes.

Bezos doesn’t run. He:
• Rucks (hikes with weight)
• Walks on an incline
• Bike zone 2
• Rows with control
• Pushes sleds

Cardio is built around joint protection and metabolic function.

Every workout includes mobility:

• Controlled articular rotations (CARs)
• Resistance band flows
• Thoracic openers
• Hip and ankle work
• End-range strength

Wesley prioritizes recovery and sleep above everything.

Because:
• 70% of growth hormone is released in deep sleep
• Testosterone is replenished during REM
• Memory consolidation + muscle repair happen during NREM

No sleep = no adaptation.

Bezos uses wearables (like WHOOP or Oura) to monitor:
• Sleep quality
• HRV
• Strain vs. recovery

“You don’t get stronger in the gym. You get stronger when you sleep well after the gym.”

Training without sleep is like driving without gas.

Jeff Bezos is well-known for prioritizing sleep as part of his productivity and decision-making strategy.

Magnesium glycinate supports:
• Deeper sleep
• GABA production (calms the brain)
• Blood sugar stability
• Muscle relaxation

80% of people are deficient in magnesium.

Low-impact training works because it’s built on biology.

• Protects joints
• Enhances strength
• Optimizes cardio
• Honors recovery
• Tracks adaptation
• Starts with sleep
• Ends with results

Longevity isn’t luck.
