@fitinmidlife: At 49 I was the worst I have ever been. Overweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and constantly tired. By 50, I was the best I had ever been, physically and mentally strong, healthy and happy! My doctors were amazed at how much change I was able to make simply by making better decisions. They told me this as they withdrew all of the prescription pills I’d been taking to control my various ailments. Now, at 56, I’ve done things I previously would never have imagined; sub 4 hour marathons, learned to horse ride, paddle board, yoga, tennis and now climbing rocks. I’ve visited places and done things that were previously beyond me, and most importantly I shared much of this with my son. As a full-time Personal Trainer, who coaches midlife men and women in person and online, I now help others live a FIT life – a life that’s Full, Intentional and Transformational. I get that midlife is very different to how we were in your 20s. I understand the pressures and constraints of responsibility, careers and family in midlife. I get that you may not believe such a change is possible for you. I know all of this because I lived it myself, and yet I made massive changes to all areas of my life, with improved fitness underpinning it all. It didn’t stop me and it shouldn’t stop you.
