This past week I was hanging out with my friends at the Critical Bench Compound in Clearwater Florida. We did some killer conditioning workouts at the compound and I posted some videos on my YouTube channel that you can check out.
One thing that really impressed me was that a lot of the guys (and gals) that were training at the compound are over 40 and in pretty good shape.
One guy in particular who was just crushing his workouts, is over 50 years old!
I couldn't help but be impressed... Because you often see 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 after 40.
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 other priorities... Family, Business, Volunteer Work, etc.
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?
