Todd Smith Fitness

Todd Smith Fitness Todd Smith Fitness My Name is Todd Smith and I am a health and fitness writer and speaker, a personal trainer and a world-class natural body builder.

For nearly 30 years, I have been passionately pursuing the best, safest and most efficient ways to transform the human body–my own body and my clients’ bodies. Everything I do is about delivering results to my customers. Before I continue on about myself and what I have been doing for the last 30 years, I have to ask you some questions: What are your goals? How do you want to look? How do you want

to feel? As I said earlier, my entire way of doing business revolves around helping YOU achieve YOUR GOALS and delivering you EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!

Most people train arms by chasing weight. We train them by chasing the muscle.

Coach Joe takes Missy through a full shoulder and arm day — rear delts, medial delts, and triceps. The theme never changes from rep to rep: shoulders pinched back, slow and controlled, active tension throughout, and the muscle doing the work instead of the joint.

That's how you build shoulders and arms that last — not by going heavier, but by going better, with someone watching every rep.

This is for every woman who's been told to grab the light weights, do a ton of reps, and stay away from heavy lifting so she doesn't get bulky.

We retired that advice — it's holding you back.

As we age, we naturally lose muscle, and that shows up as a slower metabolism, weaker bones, and lower energy. Resistance training is what protects your bones, sparks your metabolism, and supports your body as it changes. When your lifts are heavy, real, and intentional, you're telling your body to keep the muscle you have and build more.

You don't have to be a bodybuilder. You just have to be willing to be strong.

"My shoulder hurt for years until I started doing these five things."
Coach Richie at Todd Smith Fitness walks through the exact sequence — in order — that he used to rebuild his own shoulder after powerlifting left him with arthritis and clicking overhead.
The 5 exercises: • Scapular retraction-depression hold (10–15 sec) • Postural reset reps (start in bad posture, intentionally open the scapula) • Banded external rotation (shoulders retract-depress throughout) • Anterior-chain stretch (2-min hold — the safer alternative to dead hangs for adults 60+) • Tricep pushdown with shoulder discipline ("double pinch" — at the top AND the bottom)
If your shoulder hurts, please don't skip the gym. Just send us a text at 402.932.5841 — we'll work with you.

Stop stressing over the InBody scale.

It's a useful tool — we use it to track progress. But it's not something we obsess over at Todd Smith Fitness.

Here's what we DO obsess over: putting as much muscle on our clients' bodies as we possibly can. Because more muscle means:

• Higher metabolism — you can eat more
• Better posture — you'll stand taller, longer
• Longevity — more years of moving well
• Energy — daily life gets easier

Muscle is body armor. It safeguards your life. It's the hidden fountain of youth.

So stop walking that road back to the starting line every time you try a new diet. Instead — submit to the process. Trust your coach. Get in the gym.

Let's stop losing. Let's start gaining.

In a lot of gyms, it's every woman for herself.
At Todd Smith Fitness, we do things differently.
Strong women lift each other up — literally and emotionally. The lifting part is the easy part. We have weights for that. The community is what really changes your week.
You don't have to get strong alone.
Come work with amazing women. Come here to support each other, encourage each other, and get stronger together.

"I don't have time" is the most common reason adults give us for not training. So here's a counter-argument: if you can scroll for 30 minutes, you can find 30 minutes to work out.
Jadyn came to Coach Richie today with 30 minutes. Here's the upper body session he put together — 5 exercises, no Olympic lifts, no wasted reps:
• Face pull (warm-up — engages rear delts + upper back)
• Underhand lat pulldown + banded external rotations (lats + biceps + posture)
• High incline chest press (upper chest + shoulders)
• Dumbbell pullover (transverse abdominals + lats + chest stretch)
• Rope pushdowns (tricep finisher)
30 minutes or less. The "meat and potatoes" exercises get 2 warm-up sets + 2 sets to failure. The warm-up exercises stay high-rep with short rest.
Built for an adult who doesn't have an hour to spare.

Stop starving yourself.

Somewhere along the way, fitness culture decided that eating less automatically meant better results. It doesn't.
Under-fueling your body leaves you tired, sore, low-energy, and struggling to perform — especially as an adult 40+, where recovery is what makes the next workout possible.
Your body needs three things: protein to rebuild muscle, carbs to fuel performance, and food to recover. That's the framework. No macro tracking app. No counting. No starving.
You don't get stronger by starving your body. You get stronger by supporting it — and giving it what it actually needs.
Eat to perform. Eat to recover. Become stronger.

Meet TJ — our June Member of the Month at Todd Smith Fitness.
TJ came to us during a medical leave from work. He'd always loved running — every day, religiously — and was looking for something productive to do with the time off.
What started as filling his calendar turned into a complete shift in how he trains.
Today TJ trains three days a week with weights and adds Zone 2 cardio for his heart. His heart rate has dropped. His body composition has changed. He's made the most of a hard moment.
"I do enjoy running, but you guys helped me straighten that issue out." — TJ
The lesson isn't that running is bad. It's that doing one thing every day, hard, isn't always the answer — especially for a body that's recovering. Strength training. Zone 2 for the heart. Three days a week.
Hopefully we see you back out there soon, TJ. We're proud of what you've built.

There is no finish line. That’s the whole point.
Training was never meant to be something you complete. The sooner you stop waiting to “get there,” the sooner it becomes something you just live — built into your days, your habits, your identity.

"I'm too busy" is the most common reason adults give us for not training. So we put together a 30-minute lower body workout for adults 40+.
Coach Richie walks you through it. Jadyn executes. Four exercises, designed to build muscle without grinding your joints:
• Dual plane abduction (warm-up — combines abduction + hip thruster) • Hip flexion hyperextension (glutes + hamstrings) • Seated leg curl (hamstrings) • Leg press with VMO focus + wedge superset (quads)
Four effective moves. 30 minutes or less. No barbell back squats. No Olympic lifts. No injury risk that doesn't make sense for an adult 40+.
