Hello Reader I'm new to weight lifting and strength training. My expertise on longevity is first academic. After burning out, longevity became a lifestyle for me. I radically changed the way I ate, going from a somewhat standard diet to keto, and incorporated a lot of fasting. Now at 42 with 2 kids, my life is much different. On my 40th birthday, I had a "State of the Union moment". Well now that I passed the 4th decade of my life, I am officially aging. We're here together in this community to ascend into age. And that, Reader, takes intentionality and pushing yourself. It's 2024, and since 2016 when I first got into it, our understanding of longevity, of what makes for better years past the age of 60, has grown a lot. What I have learned from both academic approach and personal experience, is that the older you get, the more active you should be. If I could give my 30 year old self an advice, it would be to build the habits for getting stronger. However, at 40 the stake is higher and I have no problem finding motivation to hit the gym consistently, while eating a diet rich in protein. A habit of training relies on the mind as much as it relies on the body.Today I want to share the iron mindsets that are driving my consistency and leading me to not only keep going, although I suck at lifting, but to train even harder : .
Many people I talk to tell me that consistency and exercising regularly are a challenge. But it's worth it. Everyone misses a workout sometimes. I really hope this ignites you. Talk soon |
