When I was a teenager I used to imagine 30 yr olds as being "old." Now that I am in my early 30's not only do I see I was wrong, but i am in 1000 times much better shape than when i was a teenager. I grow more self aware every year and i can only imagine getting better and better in my 40's. Your body is an amazing tool. As long as you are able to break through mental barriers, the body is capable of taking you beyond your limits. The first time I ran a marathon I realized that we are so much more capable of what we think we can do. Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live in. Be good to your body, and it will be good to you. Don't forget about your mental health as well. The physical and mental together are unstoppable. If you are reading this and you are someone who is struggling with your physical or mental health, don't give up. Where there's a will , there's a way. Good luck!!!

Yes, like others commenting, I'm in better shape at 55 than I was 15 years ago. I'm consistently in the top 10% of mountain bike riders on downhill sections on trails around my town. However, I think you should avoid being overwhelmed by all that is in the video. Perfection is not necessary. You don't have to be a world-class athlete. You don't need EVERY spoke tightened. Start with three spokes. Eat well, sleep well, exercise - cardio and weights (functional strength helps avert injury). From that foundation, you can build toward happiness. Be more engaged in the world, better self-esteem, and stronger relationships. As Laird said at the beginning, start small - run to the end of the street EVERY day. Build that healthy habit and the others that follow.

I was a distance runner, marathoner, and triathlete in my younger days until I started my real career at 35. The demands of everyday life, family , and the job kind of killed that aspect of my life. I miss running a lot and at 67 I’m pretty much just reduced to long walks now due to lower back issues. Sometimes it’s not just mind over matter. Father Time takes its toll on all of us in different ways. My advice to you younger guys would be to keep on keeping on and don’t let your fitness slip away because once it’s gone you may not ever get it back.

Sometimes it IS mind over matter . . .but we make excuses. There are amazing new (and old) treaments for lower back pain. Dorn Method. Somatics, Etc. IF it was important, short of spinal disconnection, you CAN find a way. IF. . . it is imprtant to you. Me. I've had two broken backs, dozens of fractures over a 50 year period, BUT, I am still flexible and strong. It may also be a simple matter of CHOOSING which activities you wish to excel at now, rather that having the preconceptio of still wanting to run a marathon or 10 second 100m. Sometimes just being able get up of the floor in a fluid and strong motion is an achievement. (A surprisingly rare one if you watch.) But just being able to move your body how you wish, and to its fullest range of motion, is wonderful enough.

Thank you. I’ve just watched this great film and it has inspired me to keep going. I quit smoking and drinking 3 years ago and started road bicycle racing a year later. Unfortunately covid has put a stop to racing for the past 10 months, my last race was March 2020. It’s sometimes difficult when you struggle up a hill or when it takes a lot longer to recover than it used to when I was 20yrs old but I’m glad I got back to it. I’m so much happier in myself now than when I was drinking and smoking. It’s a great feeling to have no props and to be able to get a high from natural endorphins. I’m 43 yrs old. This film has helped put my mind at ease. Things change slightly when you get past 40 yrs old but I think a lot of it is in the mind, responsibilities, caring for elderly relatives, seeing people around you age etc. I think I will be watching this film many times to keep me inspired to keep going, keep fit, keep healthy and stay positive. Thanks again, great film. Mark. 💪👊🏻👍

My wish to get on with good training again was too fast so I ended up with worse and worse results. Now I try to listen to my body (it's very hard because my life is training) Now I focus on having fun. Driving Mountainbike on forest path, and some climbing on walls. Stops earlier than usually and hoping that this way will make it possible to soon do much more training. I need to do training, training is my engine in my life. I love most sorts of training.

I’m 62. After pushing myself to do some intense workouts recently, I was able to do some things I was unable do in my 30s. Rogan’s correct that it’s mental tiredness; I used to do triathlons & marathons, but just got mentally sick of those, so my workouts are entirely different now. I also started doing some other (non-exercise) things that are new to me, and that I never thought I could do. Struggle, mental activity, and novelty are all essential to staying young at heart.

You guys are a complete inspiration to me. I have done mild exercise all my life , I always take the stairs, people always say I walk too fast, I got into a lazy state just before lock-down, that was in February March here in Europe.So I started a new regime I started doing Bur-pees , the first one nearly killed me.I mean I nearly threw up! I felt like an old man. I could not believe how unfit I had become. I started rowing regularly on a water rower doing HIT.5 minutes warm up followed by 3 x20 second HITs every other day. After 2 weeks I had progressed to 10 Bur-pees it was tough.I also started skipping that was even more hell. I was also Jogging and got it up to 8Km but then had pain from my IT band and had to stop that but kept up the rowing.Then a friend persuaded me to go swimming in the lake in November, she's been going for years.Air Temperature was around 12 Celsius and the water was probably around the same. I went regularly into December between 06:30 and 07:00 every morning the water temperature currently in December is around 8 Degrees and its about 2 degrees air-temp today.Listen the first time is a shock but after about the third time its easier. Its ALL in your mind. After the initial shock, which can take your breath away you just swim. I can stay in for about 4 or 5 minutes then I get out .Take a friend if you go alone take a swimmers Buoy with you to tow behind in case of cramp, my biggest fear.The strange thing is, its not cold when you get out you get a slight sensation like you you are burning, then another short swim and out again.Dry the hair, get a woolly hat on asap and then get dressed bring hot tea in the thermos.After you get your clothes on again and stand at the side of that lake watching a pair of swans lift off the water in the sunrise I can tell you I have never felt so alive in years. The effects were almost immediate , I almost stopped drinking coffee, I was wide awake all day, I could concentrate better, I had what seemed like boundless energy.Oh yeah and to the guys out there chuck your blue pills the cold puts lead in your pencil!!! If someone had said to me in January I'd be swimming in the lake in December I'd have said they were crazy.I even went with snow on the ground! I used to fear the cold after years of riding a motorcycle to work as a teenager with pain in my freezing hands. Check out Wim Hof the "Ice Man" that guy is onto something! Wish me Luck I am 64 in January 2021.

This is living a hard life of work, working out and sports, being broken up more times than l care to think about. I date ladies in their 20’s and refuse to allow my brain to let the aging take over. Grow old gracefully, ya right, as they say in aviation, that’s a sucker hole. You have to deal with aging like your in a fight. Don’t give up, go right at it. Be well my dudes.

Still dating 20 year olds? Yeah age can be a state of mind BUT reality here is saying that trying to ‘prolong’ your youth by dating 30 year younger women, is first not something to ‘brag’ about at all and not going to make YOU feel any younger. And second it’s bizarre for you to think that dating 30 year younger women gets you some kind of award or something. It’s actually very immature and shows that you think that it’s perfectly normal when it’s NOT AT ALL normal. Why in the world would you think that you’ll have some meaningful relationship with a 20 year old? You sound silly and very immature as a 54 year old man but I guess you wouldn’t mind be called a ‘kid’ from the sound of it. No 20 year old wants to settle down with a 54 year old!! (Unless your filthy rich of course) That’s why you keep going from one to another cause they ain’t looking for that and obviously you are. It’s just gross man, grow up and do yourself a favor and find someone that’s near your age cause you’ll never be able to relate to a 20 year old enough to have her want to be with you for the rest of your life! Dating 20 year olds doesn’t keep you young minded, being a responsible mature adult that takes care of his family as well as being active in sports and in great physical shape keeps you young minded. Your Way to weird and bizarre for me.. and I’m in my mid 40’s so don’t say I don’t understand cause I still skate climb surf and snowboard. Playing the same sports when your older as you did when younger also keeps you young minded..so many ways to stay mentally young other than dating girls 30 years younger..smh 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻

@@metanoiavision4365 Wow, a lot of thought put into your your reply and trying to shame me. No worries bruh. The thing about assumptions are just that. You don’t know me from Adam. I said 20’s not 20. I didn’t say l was proud about dating ladies in their 20’s. What l am proud of is raising two successful and good citizens on my on with no help from a deadbeat mother. Holding my own on a motocross track or mma mat with guys half my age is another. The fact that l did the work and was lucky with decent genes is something that l will never feel ashamed or weird about. Younger ladies are happy to hang out with me based solely on this and my frame. Nothing based on money or fame, get it? You are clearly a victim of postmodernism. Probably cheering when leathery old bags like Madonna or Demi-Moore are riding the 20 year old cock carrousel. If you look on any dating app, you will see an ocean of mid 40’s “cougars” acting as full time semen receptacle. All those episodes of sex and the city has conditioned you well. You have had your limitations set quite nicely for you by a feminist leaning society and your wife. Good luck with all that man.

Turned 52 in December, had 2 full knee replacements in 2020, the 2nd in June, and started the rehab by doing 15 min on the stationary bike and doing 500 sit-ups a day. Literally went from 50, feeling like 80 to 50 feeling like 30 in about 3 months. Laird to me is amazing, and a huge inspiration, like Arnold and Sly were to me 20 and 30+ years ago, and both are still living proof of what you can do and overcome if you're determined enough.

I think the key is to keep going. I had to give up judo due to health issues, but after I stopped I still had an urge to keep doing something. So, I got into calisthenics and made it my target to do a muscle up and hold a handstand. I did them both. You may not be able to do those same activities you did in your teens or twenties, but you can still stay active. I've seen some of my contemporaries literally calcify because they have stopped moving. To quote a guest on JRE, 'Motion is lotion.'
