By saving a few posts. Or doing a few free programmes.

Olga only started training in her mid-40s.

Now she can do 10 pull-ups. And she’s doing leg sessions that, honestly, would break most men my age.

But it’s not really about the programme.

It’s about growth. Physical, mental, personal.

Physical training is just one example of that. It shows you something most people never find out.

You’re way more capable than you’ve allowed yourself to believe.

When I started taking my own health seriously, it didn’t just change my life. As a husband and a father, it rippled out to Olga and our kids.

Truth is, that first step of investing in myself scared me.

Which makes sense. I was on the precipice of change. Doing something unfamiliar.

Looking back, that one decision to invest in myself, in my own growth, was seismic.

Because intelligent physical training is personal development in disguise.

To get the results, you have to put in the work. You have to change. You have to feel discomfort, fear and act anyway you upgrade yourself.

On the journey, you start thinking deeper about what truly matters, and which direction you actually want to go in life.

Clint Eastwood has a line, “don’t let the old man in.” I’d add to that: don’t let the lazy man win.

I was weak and unfit right up to 35. Stiff, in pain, low energy, couldn’t get through a surf.

My 40s became my strongest decade. And I’m not joking when I say my 50s will be better.

I have considerably more training knowledge than I did at 30. I’m clear on what I need to do and what I want to do. I surround myself with peers who challenge me and push me.

The voices you listen to, both the ones in your head and the ones around you, are going to influence you massively.

The human body is way more capable than we allow ourselves to believe. It’s just a matter of:

tapping into it

having a clear vision

understanding your values

taking steps to live in alignment with them
gaining knowledge

surrounding yourself with the right people
upgrading your identity

So you become the person who does the things you need to do, to live the life you truly want.

50 in a few weeks. Decline is a choice I’m declining to choose.

Train for the life you dream of
