A cancer diagnosis motivated me to up my fitness game since I knew it would help get me through treatment. I’m 69 and in the best shape since my 30s.

[pamelawoodsum]

❤ I started at 74.Can't believe the change in my health
I do try to convince young people, but they don't want to listen.

After an accident, I started in my late 60's. I'm 80 now and in better shape than ever before.

This is true. I was a physical wreck in my late 40’s and early 50’s. Now I’m in my late 50’s and I’m in the best shape of my life with the most muscles I’ve ever had by far. It is never too late to turn it around.

The Pivotal Ages to really take care of yourself is between the ages 40 and 60. I commend anyone to start improving their health at any age. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks anytime!

Broken bones & spinel stenosis benched me & I NEED TO PLAY TENNIS & JOG. My brain is stagnating & my muscles have to be retaught. Muscle memory. After 7 foot surgeries they QMEs said Id never walk again. Brain is an amazing thing! I may not be able to run marathons but with an epidural I can do so much Drs said I couldnt. Thx for teaching. Endorphin high should start my day!😊

I started my health adventure in my mid sixty. I have lost 50 lbs. Feel so much better!

[delilahdelaney]

I needed to hear this. Spent my 20s being drunk every weekend and almost my whole life binging on sugar.

[CrystallyLavender]

Wow, that’s very encouraging for younger folks. 👍

[ipzownd]

It's faith, not in clouds but in your self and actions, the benefit of knowing your doing what you can is reassuring and if that's more than you have now your off and running ( low impact, injury free ), peace

[bigkingxxl]

Maybe we'll turn it all around cause it's not too late it's never too late

[widsdni]
