There is Life After 50

When people around my age of 51 complain about "being old," it's like nails on a chalkboard.


I just turned 51 last month and I feel like I'm in better shape than I was in my 20s.


How can I say that? Aren't I supposed to be "old."


I can say it because I've accrued a lot of wisdom over all the years as a personal trainer. 


My training plan is much more solid than it was when I was a "twenty something meathead" who only cared about impressing girls on the beach or at the bar.


Back then it was all about vanity. Now it's about longevity.


"Old" is a state of mind. I don't classify myself as old. I still feel like an athlete with many good years in me.


My clients are experiencing the same success.


Charlie is deadlifting well over 300 pounds and has dropped over 25 pounds this year.


He recently mentioned he's in the "best shape of his life." Now! In his late 50s!


He has spent many of his weekends doing hard manual labor at his new cabin and his body has held up well.


Proverbs 23:7 says "For as he thinks within himself, so he is"


So how do you think of yourself?


Is it time to start hitting Perkins at 4:30 for dinner and taking geritol before bed?


Or is it time to push back?


Despite what most people think, THERE IS LIFE AFTER 50.


You can still make great progress. 


I'll prove it by offering up my 50-STRONG program for anyone over 50 who has never worked with us.

Dedicated to your results after 50,

A group of people are running a marathon on a city street.

Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
