Start Here for Motivation [Guide and Video]

In what area do you most need motivation today?

You can learn the evidence-based methods for becoming more fit over 50. The inspirational video lower within this article can help you get started.

Get the Motivation You Need to Get Moving Again

My passion is assisting others in increasing their strength and mobility through lifestyle upgrades that reduce inflammation.

These healthy interventions involve anti-inflammatory diet strategies and body conditioning movements.

I’m 58 years old. I enjoy helping others create unique solutions for improving daily quality of life.

It’s not unusual for those who meet me in person to comment on my fitness and ask me questions about how I stay strong and flexible.

My body fat percentage fluctuates a bit depending on my work schedule and projects, but it’s typical for me to have definition in my abdominals.

Since I guess it’s unusual in the U.S. to see a silver-haired man my age with lean and muscled body composition, that’s probably why I sometimes get asked questions.

3 Ways to Take Your Health to the Next Level

I created this site so I could share the three ways I get healthier over 50:

  1. Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Fewer grains, sugar, or dairy. A large variety of vegetables and one small serving of animal protein each night – more on heavy workout days.
  2. Cross-Training: Instead of focusing on one type of exercise, I do a different type of exercise each day – that way, my body never fully adapts, and I stay in the results-zone. Pilates, weight training, sprints, yoga, cardio, mobility drills, and Olympic kettlebell lifts. I like to exercise outdoors when I can. Daily exercise doesn’t require as much time as people think, but it still requires time.
  3. Self-Care and Personal Development: The more I develop my inner-self, the less need I have to self-medicate with things outside myself. By learning to naturally metabolize life’s daily little anxieties, I become better at staying positive and letting good things flow to me.
