Over the past couple of decades, we all got older. Yeah, I know “thanks for that insightful reminder.” But as we’ve been going about living our lives, and yes, getting older, there have been some remarkable advances in evidenced-based research providing some important updates to our understanding of physical fitness and the aging process. Between this latest research and the physiological changes that have occurred in our bodies over these years, many of the concepts we adopted to stay fit when we were in our 20s and 30s, no longer apply.

In the latest Midlife Optimized blog, I offer a breakdown of fitness priorities to help you reset your approach to fitness at midlife.

Is this you? 👇

“Weightlifting is for the young. It's not for me."

Truth: 💫
Gyms are filled with images featuring fit people under the age of 40 lifting weights.

Truth: 💫
Whether or not you've lifted weights in the past, midlife is an IDEAL time to focus on strength training as part of your fitness and healthy aging strategy.

Here are a few reasons to shift your mindset about weightlifting at midlife and beyond:

➡️ After the age of 40, strength training is an essential intervention to combat age-related muscle loss and mid-life weight gain.

➡️ Strength training at midlife can strengthen bones, improve balance, and support long-term mobility.

➡️ Strength training at midlife can boost metabolism, energy, and self-confidence.

Try this new mindset: 👇

“I am willing to go outside of my comfort zone to build strength to keep my body fit, active, and strong for decades to come.”

Today is a great day to get stronger.

Mindset matters most.
