7th March-Old age doesn’t come alone

“Old age doesn’t come alone”-It doesn’t have to be that way.We were brought up with that saying.

Looking back when did people say “it’s time to down tools with their health, and think the “best days were behind them” and accept poor health.You would get plenty of people subscribing to that theory back in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s I remember.

BUT now there’s overwhelming scientific undeniable evidence you shouldn’t accept ageing as a barrier to anything, as long as you continue to work on your body and mind.In fact, many of our best performers at the gym are in the 60-90 age group, nobody wants to accept that “they are finished”, we all want live with a sense of purpose and be as active as possible with no limitations.

BUT we have to accept we can’t get away with eating like we did when we were 18, our nutrition counts more than ever.

Cut down the processed foods and sugar we put into our bodies, and most of the pain we are in would leave for good as well as many illnesses, carrying that extra weights kills our joints, energy levels, destroys mental health and often kills our hope for the future too-UNLESS we finally decide to change and be honest with ourselves.

We have to accept that we have to put our sessions in and not miss workouts for the slightest excuse, consistency matters more than ever as we age and if we want to get better qand live without pain, we need to commit to feeling better through exercising and eating right.

The social aspect of training boosts us more than we think, laughter, cpmpany, encouragement every day elevate us from someone who says “old age doesn’t come alone” to someone who thrives into the so called “senior years”.Our reality in life is deeply affected by the attitude we bring every single day, and actions speak louder than words, but NEVER EVER believe that old age is any barrier to living a very high quality of life, both in body and mind.

Monday, 6th March

We always talk about the GOOD things that come from starting the week right with a good workout (lots of you did this morning).

But what about the BAD things it takes away?

Joint pain eases every time you move, even when sometimes you don’t want to.Joint pain also goes over time when you don’t inflame your joints with inflammatory foods. 

Any foods that are man made are guaranteed to do that, and foods that are high in sugar will definitely do that too.

You can double or triple the pain you are constantly in too if you continue this process, are not honest about how much you actually move, the sugar you actually eat, and the ever increasing weight you are piling on your body because of it.

Putting yourself in a NO FAIL environment is critical.Regular workouts with us at the gym or online with us.Putting food in your trolley that are natural and that will fuel and HEAL you, instead of inflaming your joints and give you zero energy.

Make yourself accountable by showing up, get measured and ask for help if you aren’t happy, acountability works because it gives you a real time situation of where you are now, and then you see what it needs to get out of that situation you may not be entirely happy with.We all need to be honest with ourselves at times, and Monday is the PERFECT day for it, the only way to happiness and the only way to make sure your health is in great order to cut down your chances of any nasty surprises down the line.
