Low-energy, precision measurements are important to establish the parameters of the Standard Model and to test various predictions in the quest for new physics signatures. I will discuss two of our experiments that recently reported first physics results. Both involve the muon lifetime, leading to the Fermi Constant at a new level of precision and the nucleon weak pseudoscalar coupling constant g_P, determined in an unambiguous manner for the first time. Future plans include a Fermilab-based next-generation muon anomalous magnetic moment measurement, which follows on the our effort that has provided one of the strongest hints of physics beyond the Standard Model today.
