69 AND CRUSHING IT

Today’s blog post is a shoutout to my mom. She’s 69 years old and crushing it. This is her slalom skiing on the 4th of July.

Am I writing this just to brag on my mom? I mean yea, a little 😉 but mostly I’m trying to point out the importance of taking care of yourself.

My mom works out 4-5 days/week and plays pickle ball nearly every day. And because she’s been movin and groovin like that for decades, she’s still living a very active and happy life.

You may be thinking. . . I’m nowhere near 69, why do I care? And I get that. But the thing is - developing healthy habits when you’re young will make your older years much easier.

Muscle mass starts to decrease naturally once we hit a certain age, especially if we’re not strength training. That’s one of the many reasons why lifting weights is so imperative to our health! The sooner you start, the more equipped you’ll be to handle the natural aging process.

If you’ve been wanting to start working out but keep putting it off, consider your older self. How do you want to spend your 60s, 70s, 80s . . . . . hobbling over to your rocking chair or out there kicking @ss?!

I’m trying to keep crushing it for many years to come, personally. And I think if you’re reading this, you do too.
