Burn with Kearns: How Execs in their 50s Train – Kevin Kearns
by Kevin Kearns, contributing writer, fitness and exercise
How Executives in Their 50s Are Training Like Fighters—Without the Injuries
There’s a growing wave of high-powered men in their 50s who are training like fighters—but with purpose, not punishment.
They’re not looking for six-pack abs or to enter a cage fight. What they want is mental toughness, lean muscle, joint-friendly power, and the confidence that comes from knowing they can handle whatever life—or the boardroom—throws at them.
Why Fighters’ Training Works—Even for CEOs
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)-inspired training taps into multiple energy systems, builds functional strength, and boosts metabolic conditioning. You don’t need to spar or take hits—but you do train like someone who could.
Here’s what you gain from the Burn with Kearns fighter-style approach:
✅ Serious Calorie Burn – We’ve clocked 475+ calories burned in just 17 minutes.
✅ Improved Focus & Confidence – Hitting pads or powering through “ground-and-pound” drills makes you sharper mentally and physically.
✅ Joint-Safe Strength – No heavy barbells. We use bands, med balls, BOSU®, and instability tools to make your body strong and injury-resistant.
✅ Time-Efficient Protocols – Most workouts are 20-45 minutes. No fluff. Just results.
✅ Age-Adjusted Conditioning – You’re not 25, and that’s fine. We train smarter, not harder.
This training system isn’t just theory. It’s based on over two decades of field-tested science and experience. I’ve coached 15 former UFC fighters, and now we use those same principles to train busy CEOs, executives, and professionals who want to stay competitive—in business and in life.
🥒 The “Meat” You Can Use Today:
Here are 3 things every man over 50 should start doing this week:
- Train on Unstable Surfaces — Try planks or band rows on a BOSU®. It builds core strength, balance, and bulletproofs your joints.
- Skip the Bicep Curls — Focus on real-world, compound moves like med ball slams, resistance band drills, and sandbag carries. These build usable strength.
- Recover Like It’s Your Job — Your success depends on smart recovery. Sleep, hydration, breath work, and foam rolling keep your engine running.
Movement + Resistance + Instability = Longevity. That’s the Kearns formula.
You don’t need to fight—but you do need to be fight-ready.
