THE PROBLEM: The dead space between sets is where things quietly fall apart.
Most weightlifting workouts have more waiting than lifting, and most of us are terrible at waiting. We scroll, answer messages, and pour our attention into everything we came to the gym to escape. Also, for guys over 40, a token warm-up and cool-down aren’t enough. Over time, all that dead time and lift-only focus make workouts feel long, progress feel slow, and consistency can slip.

THE SOLUTION: EVRMV starts in the empty space between sets.
EVRMV keeps the strength work, with joint-friendly lifts chosen for the over-40 lifter. Every time you rack the weight there’s a next step already set: guided breathing to calm your nervous system, mobility to unlock what’s tightened with age, and thought prompts inspired by self development content to guide your mind. Your workout becomes a continuous, repeatable flow instead of a series of distractions and resets.

THE RESULT: A stronger, more mobile, more centered you.
This practice is built for your goals at this stage of your life: real strength, anchored in recovery and clarity. The breath you train between sets shows up when life spikes your stress. The mobility you used to skip is finally built in, so stiffness and tension start to fade. Your mind doesn’t wander off into worry; it settles and focuses.

The workout flies by, and you walk out confident, energized, and ready to take on your day.

Includes: Warmup, Dumbbell Exercises for Men 40+, Guided Breath, Mobility, Thought Prompts (Voice Guided), Breathwork Finisher.
Time: 60 min • Theme: Honesty

Press play and follow along with this 60-minute full-body dumbbell workout. No planning. No guesswork. No downtime. Just watch the screen and move with me.

Here’s how it flows:

Work Sets (45 sec): Focused lifting exercises handpicked for the over 40 experienced lifter.

Recovery Blocks (90 sec): Each rest period combines:

  1. Physiological sigh breathing to help slow your heart rate.

  2. Light mobility work to keep your body loose.

  3. A short reflection on today’s theme (Honesty), ending with a thought trigger to apply in your own life.

Every minute is purposeful. Strength, mobility, breathwork, and mindset are all stacked into one seamless session.

This is the first-ever EVRMV workout. It’s the starting point of a system I’ve been refining for years. Now I’m putting it out there so you can try it, shape it, and help make it even better for guys like us who value a daily strength and movement practice as a way to better ourselves.

This follow along, focused, 10-minute abs & stretch flow is designed for men over 40. You’ll hit three 60-second rounds of hanging leg raises (AMRAP), then turn rest periods into guided breathwork, mobility (Child’s pose to up dog, weighted butterfly and Prayer stretch), and on-screen thought prompts work between sets. The session finishes off with a minute of 4-second inhale, 6-second exhale pattern to leave you calm and centered.

The goal: stronger core, freer hips and back, and a clearer head in one tight block.

Why it works:

  • Builds functional core strength

  • Uses the time between sets to balance strength and mobility

  • Targets stiffness in hips, back, and shoulders, common tight spots for men over 40

  • Uses short on-screen Thought Triggers to guide your mind that can help direct your day

Run through it and let me know how your core, hips, and headspace feel afterward. Take this 2-minute survey. Your feedback helps shape EVRMV into a movement built by men who care about showing up, staying strong, and being consistent.

Includes: Three Rounds of Abs with Breath, Mobility and Mindset Work Between Each Set.
Time: 10 min • Application: Finisher or Stand Alone.

The Five Week Cycle

If you’re an experienced lifter over 40, you need a clear, simple plan that keeps you consistent. That’s what this 5-week program delivers.

Using just one 60-minute full-body follow-along strength workout video, you’ll train 4 days a week with joint-friendly rep ranges and loads, safe progression, and just the right intensity to feel strong, mobile and focused.

To round out the week and keep you moving, you’ll also add two active rest days, where you will do Japanese Interval Walking Training.

The program finishes with a deload week so you recover fully, lock in your progress, and come back stronger for the next cycle.

It’s simple. It’s structured. And it’s designed to help you move every day, to build a consistent daily practice.

You’re over 40 and you’ve been lifting for years, but between family, career, and responsibilities, consistency has become the biggest challenge. You know strength, mobility, and daily movement are essential for healthspan, but finding the time and structure isn’t always easy.

You’re pragmatic, results-driven, and value self-development. You want a program that maximizes the one hour you get in the gym and blends lifting, stretching, breathwork, and mindset into a simple, follow-along format that removes the guesswork and keeps you moving and growing.

EVRMV: Lift. Breathe. Stretch. Reflect. Every Set.

About the Founder

Aryeh (AKA “R”)

I’m Aryeh, but my friends call me R. I’m 55, a husband, and a dad of five. I’ve been training since I was a teenager, and like you, I’ve tried just about everything to stay active, like weightlifting, yoga, calisthenics, CrossFit, boxing, Jiu-Jitsu... For me, fitness is how I clear my head, manage stress, and stay grounded through life’s ups and downs.

I’m not a certified trainer. What I bring is 40 years of trial, error, and perspective. I’ve tested countless approaches, kept what works, and built a sustainable system that helps me stay strong, focused, and ready for whatever life throws my way.

EVRMV is me sharing that system with you. It’s a simple, follow-along framework that blends strength, breathwork, mobility, and mindset into one purposeful system designed to keep you moving and growing.

I’d love to hear about your fitness journey. What is your “why” for working out? What challenges are you facing that make it harder for you to train regularly? What do you normally do between sets?

Reach out and tell me your story.

  • The average strength workout has more rest than work. The real question is: what are you doing with the time between sets?

    My own sessions were losing their edge because I drifted during rest. I was scrolling, texting, even taking calls. I thought I was multitasking, but I was really just breaking my focus.

    At the same time, I was listening to a lot of self-development podcasts and noticed a common thread among successful people: they follow a fitness program, they meditate, and they journal to sharpen their thinking.

    That’s when I built EVRMV and integrated three powerful practices into every rest period: guided breathing, mobility work, and thought triggers.

    Now, instead of downtime, every break builds momentum.

  • Breathwork
    Simple guided patterns speed recovery between sets and sharpen focus. You feel the difference instantly.

    Mobility Work
    EVRMV blends mobility into rest periods. Reducing stiffness and helping you, as an older lifter, feel better in your body.

    Thought Triggers
    Working out puts me in a state of peak clarity. Physical effort clears the noise and opens space for new ideas. But podcasts were overload: great insights would get buried under endless conversation. What I needed was focus.

    So I built it in. Each rest includes a short, themed thought exercise: one idea, one question, and the time to process how it applies to your life. I draw from self development books, podcasts, movies, and more, and share all references so you can go deeper if something resonates.

  • I’m R, 55, husband, dad of five, and I’ve been training for 40 years. I’m not a trainer with a certificate. I’m a guy who’s lived it, tested it, and still shows up every day. If you want practical workouts that actually fit into your life, that’s what EVRMV is all about.

    • Men over 40 who understand that building muscle and a daily movement practice have become an essential part of maximizing their healthspan.  

    • Experienced lifters with busy lives looking for a clear workout system designed for the midlife athlete.

    • People who have struggled with consistency as life gets more complex.

    • Highly interested in self-development and open to new approaches.

    • Aware of the value of stretching, breathing, and meditation, but struggle to find time or motivation to do them.

    • Want to make the most of the time they have to themselves at the gym.

  • When you combine strength training with intentional breathing, mobility work, and thought triggers, and do it consistently, the effects are more than just physical, they’re mental and emotional too.

    If this approach helps you establish a consistent workout habit, especially if that’s been a struggle in the past, the impact can be transformative:

    • Strength & control: Build muscle that helps you feel strong and confident.

    • Breathing & calm: Learn to regulate your breath during workouts and manage stress and anxiety outside the gym.

    • Mobility & ease: Stretch, rotate, and mobilize to reduce stiffness and soreness, leaving your body feeling open and unrestricted.

    • Clarity & focus: Leverage the mental clarity you gain during training to guide your thinking and create positive change.

    EVRMV is designed as a way to integrate movement into your daily life so that any physical and mental benefits can follow naturally over time.

  • Aesthetics matter, and it remains a priority in EVRMV. Building strength changes how you look, how you carry yourself, and how you feel about yourself. It also opens the door the mindset work. So the strength work is foundational to the EVRMV system.

    I often highlight the mental and emotional benefits because most people overlook them, but don’t get it twisted: this is a strength program designed to help you look and feel powerful.

  • It’s always evolving. I’m constantly exploring new innovative and engaging techniques to integrate into the programming.

  • The goal isn’t to start at 60 minutes, it’s to build toward it over time. Sixty minutes allows enough space to train the whole body properly while integrating strength, breathing, mobility, and reflection without rushing.

    More importantly, it creates a daily window, ideally at the same time every day, that’s long enough to produce meaningful physical change and mental clarity, but still realistic to sustain.

    That said, on busy days, 10 or 20 minutes is still a win and keeps your momentum going. The 60-minute target simply represents a full expression of the practice.

  • Nothing at all. Rest is important, especially as we get older. The question is: how are you using that time?

    Some people manage it beautifully. They walk around, listen to music, get in a semi-meditative state, or reflect on life. Others, like me, are a mess: doom-scrolling, answering calls, or replying to emails. By the time the rest period is over, focus is gone, and any mental clarity the workout built is blown.

  • At this stage, EVRMV is designed for experienced lifters. The workouts don’t include detailed exercise instructions or cues, since space is made for breathing, mobility, and thought triggers, as well as quiet time for reflection.

    If you’re a beginner and interested in EVRMV, let me know through the contact section below. I’ll take note of the interest for future programming.

  • EVRMV isn’t a weight-loss program. It’s main focus is not burning calories or dropping pounds. It’s designed to help you build a well rounded training rhythm you can integrate into your daily life. That said, consistently following the program may increase your activity level, which can support weight loss as a natural byproduct.
