I changed my lifestyle at 57, and now that I am going to be 66 and feel better that I have in 20 years

Here's is the shortest and most efficient summary of the video: If you want to be jacked, leaned, fit or whatever after 40... you MUST make it a LIFESTYLE. It is not a decision you make each time you go to the gym or something you try to find the time for. You ARE jacked. You ARE fit. You ARE healthy. It is a mindset that is enacted through principles that you live by. Period.

I got my mom started with CrossFit for seniors 6 months ago and it’s already made most of her nagging pains go away like sciatica and stiff knees and shoulder pain from old injuries. 3 times a week and workouts customized for her. It’s made a world of difference!! I’m excited for … my mom will be 71 and has her deadlift up to 70lbs

Jeff Cavalier said something like this years ago. Dont diet, diets end, make a lifestyle change. This thinking made me lose 80lbs in 2019 at 40 and keep it off.

That Thomas, was your BEST interview in a long time! BRILLIANT... I am 67 years old... a former Ferrari... in fact that is how my aviation medical doctor described me... I trained like a maniac, loved it and excelled. Once I retired I went sailing... not a lot of activity... I also ate every thing in sight in France and drank... marvellous time but I was 225 at 5 foot 9...After two years of gluttony, sailing to the Caribbean, eating fries with everything that was deep fried I was in rough shape... Believe it or not, I had no idea that what I was doing was killing me... after all, canola oil was healthy right? Got home early 2020 for the lock down... I had to get bowel surgery for diverticulosis. A year later my left hip needed replacing. While in the hospital I read Saladino's Carnivore Code... I was horrified. 13 medical references that showed my diet cause the issues!! I was crippled by the hope operation. 3 black belts in 3 diverse martial arts and I could not walk. I adopted a meat based diet... I can't call it carnivore but darn close.... its been two years and I am climbing out of the pit... I could not walk 50 feet without agony... I bought myself an X3 and started a slow progression of training... I couldn't do 5 five squats with the lightest band... almost two years later of diet and X3 I just walked 5 miles. No pain, no limp! And the rest of my body is ripped! So ya, old guys can rebound! Never give-up!

Jocko will be 53 in September and is proof that there is not an “inevitable” post 40 decline in ability to build & maintain strength and coordination. As he points out, you have to eat right (whole foods) and work out (cardio and resistance training). It takes hard work and consistent vigilance.

In my mid 40s and since i got back into training (solely for functional strength and functional fitness) just over 3 months ago, after over 5 years off, my training motto is: Train hard. Train right. Train smart. Eat right. Sleep right. Get results. Keep on rockin'! 🤘

I used to work out pretty consistently until a little or 40. I did 3 sets of pull ups 20 reps at the beginning of my work outs. Got back into it a year and a half ago, I couldn’t even do one pull up without feeling like I was really going to hurt myself. Now at 63 I’m back to doing 3 sets of 15 reps. It’s all about consistency.

I can categorically state that I turned my own health issues around at 62 and now eat really clean keto based foods, and exercise daily both cardio and resistant training. It can be done and It's NEVER TOO late to turn it around
