I was morbidly obese for most of my 20s and half of my 30s I am now approaching 48 at the age of 42 I started bodybuilding my bmi is now 24 I have lost lots of body fat and taken my fitness to another level with many changes that I implemented since discovering mind pump over a year ago I am in such good health now. The best is yet to come

[@HannahLawson-k5q]

dealing with fitness challenges as I hit my 40s, stumbled upon crucial tips in this video. Adjusting workouts is key. Embracing less risky exercises, focusing on stability, and considering lifestyle changes. Consistent sleep patterns and cold rinses are game-changers. High-protein diet advice hit home - essential for muscle, appetite, and blood sugar control. Aspects applicable to younger folks too. This video is a fitness guide, emphasizing overall well-being after 40. Thanks for the insights and a nod to Aspect Health for support.

[@lafuente11]

I do about 10 minutes on the treadmill every hour when I am home. I get my 12K steps done that way.

[@mcSquare2]

I'm 50+, and I've learned so much from tuning in. Discussing hormones with excercises helps tremendously!! All the best guys!

[@stevenestrada8908]

I turned 40 this year. Great advice. These tips will help me keep me going on my fitness journey

[@MistyBluemel]

I’m 52 and obese. I spent most of my life lifting weights and a traumatic life experience took hold hard and fast. When I started lifting again 4 mths ago everything hurt SO BAD. I bought a total gym 😂 squats with no weights to adding weights now I’m able to Bulgarian squats again.

[@josevasquez337]

Don't hate on total gym! Chuck Norris will find you! 😂

[@MistyBluemel]

Oh I wasn’t. That was out of context. I meant, unbelievable how fast I lost muscle before I bought it 🤣

[@josevasquez337]

Lol I was kidding! I knew what you meant congratulations on your success!

[@MistyBluemel]

@@josevasquez337 thank you 😊 ya, I certainly do not want Chuck Norris after me 🤣

[@jimbingham9329]

Just remember...you CANNOT out-train a bad diet. I think a VERY good way to "reset" your system to prepare for health is a prolonged fast, 3 or 4 days, followed by intermittent fasting. To take a deeper dive into the health and longevity benefits of both types of fasting, check out Dr Eric Berg's KZbin channel. Also check out his videos on the horrible effects of sugar. You gotta get off sugar. Lots of good info on his channel, as well as this one. Keep working out and stay the course.

[@Shreadington]

NEAT cardio is overlooked. I'm 45. I focus on getting 10,000+ steps a day. On office days I'll take 10-15 minute walks after meals. Aside from 45 minutes of fasted early am steady state cardio in my spin bike walking is the only cardio I do.

[@kellysigle5058]

LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys!! Absolutely have changed my relationship with exercise and food. I love the Mind Pump programs, I love that they are addressing the “average” every day individual working out for health and longevity. I love that they are vulnerable and honest with their own path and journey. Thank you so much for everything you guys are doing!! Like so many others, I am forever grateful to you! 🙏🏻

[@fadeelahk]

I'm hitting the big 40 milestone next year so this topic is so relevant. I can believe that people can go insane after 6 days of sleep deprivation. When my LO was born sleep deprivation drove me to severe PPD and it's taken me a long slow journey to recover from that. I now try to catch naps during the day to counter the effect of broken sleep with a toddler who still doesn't sleep through the night. Thanks for all the info, this show is an absolute goldmine and I'm so glad to have found you guys!

[@marieoliphant8305]

Hope you guys all make it to 61, my age without any issues. I trained with huge emphasis on form for 25 yrs as a bodybuilder. Female. I had one of the best trainers on the planet. Have been out of gym for 10 yrs now due to injuries. I’ve got 15 levels of fusions in my back and I’ve torn my knee 3x in 8 yrs. No matter how well you train and prepare you just never know. There’s no reason provided for my injuries. I am or was one of healthiest people I know. Shit happens. Be smart. It matters as you age. I’m back at gym now. 7 moths of walking 60 minutes 7x a week. Just added weights again. Time will tell. Doing my best, but also thinking maybe I shouldn’t have squatted 225 for 25 yrs. No one really knows.

[@windscreenrepairmanrich5528]

Im 56 and am the strongest and fittest ive ever been. I took up weight training and cardio at 43. I keep my muscle mass and strength by just 3 x 40min workouts a week and 2x 30 mins running plus an active outdoor lifestyle. You guys are awesome and so pleased you know Jordan Peterson and ARC

[@fatafata477]

46 years old, probably the best shape of my life, coincidentally aligns with when I started listening to MP 😅. Whenever I track protein (1 gram per pound) I find my body responds almost instantaneously (see changes within a week, prolonged and significant changes when viewed in yearly increments). As always, great podcast to listen to while driving through regional Australia!

The impacts of lack of sleep or consistent sleep are so profound. It's extremely important on so many levels.

I'm 3 weeks into lifting for the first time in a long time. I'm not lifting heavy but I'm already sleeping so much better on the days that I lift. I feel awesome. The last few years haven't been good. I'm happy to have found you.

[@RebeccaHood-h8t]

I am 62 and have been struggling on how to move forward with strength training. In the past I have used trainers that would work me so hard I could not move for days then give up…. I feel like you guys have it right and am very excited to get started! Your podcasts are very inspiring ❤

[@huskysixdirty]

Maybe you should then take what you learned and just follow your own protocol. It also took me some time to understand that my best training is myself using just some experience not the full structure from others forced on me.

[@MrXrisd01]

I turn 40 this year, it kind of freaks me out. My biggest fear now is getting injured while training.

[@ouroboros6125]

I turn 40 too Sept 2024. Started working out again 8 weeks ago, we gotta prepare dude. It's coming...

This advice is so important! Over 40 is a challenge in many ways. Thank you for the great stuff❤ and for keeping it coming through the holidays. Happy Holidays to you guys!

I am a 44 yo female. Box squats are my favorite. My box squat PR is 205. for 4. I will definitely put all these tips into play so I can continue to stay fit. Thanks for all the info!

[@jeffadams5413]

I have been a long time MP follower. As I’ve stated in other comments at 67 I certainly don’t have the strength I had at 25. But I still like to lift heavy. Now it seems I am always hurt. I occasionally ask my one day a week trainer to check my form on my compound lifts to ensure that this is not my problem. He told me it’s just something at my age I will have to deal with. So I purchased your maps over 40 workout program. I plan on sticking with my current 5 day a week bro split training until January 1st. Then I will put your program into my weekly program. I’m glad to see you have posted this 10 tips. Can you discuss a bit on stretching technique?

[@calvos745]

After becoming a consistent listener and finally becoming the healthier version of myself I can't imagine how beneficial a MAPs program would be for me in 2024 !

[@lizgerardo3029]

Hitting my protein goal every day is definitely a challenge, I had never noticed how little protein I was consuming even though I’ve been lifting almost 20 years, watching you guys the past couple months has made a big difference in my fitness journey 💪🏻

So true on not starting your day with news or social media. It does stress your body out. I love watching motivational you tube videos like yours to get me started for the day. And I love the part on sitting too much. I bought a stand up desk and that helps tremendously!❤

[@mattwilliams9480]

Thanks for all the focus on us old guys. I’m going to take your advice on foolin around with some box squats. My knees aren’t what they used to be!! Happy Christmas!!

[@Sonic_1000]

It's the same as it was when I was 20. Calisthenics with some barbell work, eat in a mild caloric deficit, and 30-45mins of cardio a day. Unless you're crippled or limited age changes nothing.

[@kerrybarker7602]

Lookforward to the listen …. Even if has been a long time since i saw 50 :)

[@LetsgoBlue_1]

I’ve been reaching my target protein intake for months now and I must be one of the few who can still massively overeat despite eating approx. 1 g/lb target body weight. It doesn’t seem to curb that for me and so I’ve not being seeing any measurement changes. I have to track diligently in addition to reaching my protein target to stay at an appropriate calorie intake. Now (im)patiently waiting for some results! Thanks for everything guys. Merry christmas! 🎄

[@jeinzbern3917]

It's just mystical how this is highlights over 40s and yet also way too massively applicable to 30s and below. Applying this earlier or later in your life just improves longevity and consistency for all ages profoundly period, end of story🤝. I'm not 40 yet but this helps me massively. It'll do wonders to over 40s ✨️

Very interesting since last couple of years (, 44 years old now and most of my live been active in fitness and combat sports), I noticed how little injuries add way more up and take much more time to recover with the result it slows down my retain and growth proces of musclemass and searching for a way to train with/around this fact. Keep up the good work, always interesting topics 💪🏻👊🏻.

Great content gentleman and Merry Christmas to yourself and your families 🎄⛄🎁, I am 52 and have been training since my early twenties and I have been starting to see the affects of poor movement patterns 😕, it was due to not being as present in the moment as I was just pounding the weights mostly to overcome stress 😬. These habits that you have stated on this episode is a effective way to start a new life style change, I think I will save the cold shower for the warmer weather though 😅 as it gets pretty cold and wet on Vancouver Island.

[@stevewaller5577]

Okay so talking about sleep. The question is what's more important? Now the obvious answer to me would be getting 8 hours of sleep a night or is it just being consistent whether I'm getting 4 hours, 6 hours or 8 hours sleep?

I'm 65 and have been doing resistance training for 40 years. Learn to read what your body is telling you. I'm still able to vary heavy and light stuff and rep and speed ranges. Being intuitive to what your body says is crucial. Technology now is also valuable. Follow what the tech tells you as well. Great episode fellas.

[@Baconmissfit]

I just stumbled onto y'all, and I love all the info. I've been eating healthy (for me, mindful of bodily reactions-bloat/gas/skin issues) for years with smarter not harder (weights iver cardio) workouts on and off since high school. I'll be 49 in a couple of months. I live the mind/body connection you speak about on your cast. At this time, I am 1 week out from recovering from a broken ankle and plan to get back at the weights soon. This was so timely for me. Thank you for your insights.
