Happy new year to you all!!
A new year in which I have hit a new milestone..... 40 years young!!
It's interesting what responses these milestone birthdays attract. Some I've heard include... "so how do you feel now you're 40?", or "you'll have to slow down in the gym cause you're 40 now!"
Give me a f***ing break!
What is our obsession with age, old age & eternal youth especially. Do you think we can't stay fit strong and healthy into our old age?
Jack LaLanne anyone? For those of you who don't know who Jack is check out a youtube video or two. This is a man who preached health and vitality and the benefits of exercise to a vast American television audience for close to 50 years. But not only did he talk about it, he was a living example, performing amazing feats well into his 80s.
We also have some great examples in the athletic world. A favourite of mine is Bernard Hopkins, the ex middleweight world champion. Here is a man who, using incredible mental focus and drive, fights on at 43 with incredible success.
Do you think these and countless others worried about turning 40, or any other age for that matter? Nor do I.
Stop using age as an excuse!!
