glory days

When he got up to go talk to someone else I was told he was over 50 years old!
I couldn't help but think to myself...WOW. You can see some people in their 50's and they are limping around all hunched over with no energy.
When does it start?
I think the Big 4-0 is an important age. It officially starts mid-life but it's also a BIG cross road.
A lot of people kind of let themselves go and it's a downhill spiral.
Others decide that age is just a number and choose to make their 40's the best decade of their life.
It may not look the same as when we were in our 20's and 30's. Our goals may not be to deadlift a personal best, but that's okay.
Priorities have changed for me. I used to enjoy spending 3+ hours in the gym several days per week.
Today there's God, Family & Work (in that order).
But to be strong for others, we have to be strong for ourselves first.
What does being 40 Strong look like? It's being lean with hard muscles, it's having time efficient workouts, it's having energy to work hard and play hard and most importantly it's about enjoying the process and the workouts like we did when we started out.
Are you getting close to 40 years old or perhaps older?
Now is the time to get back to being your best.
Are your glory days behind you or do you choose to be 40 STRONG?
Keep training hard,
