As I approach my 55th birthday my determination to maintain and build strength becomes more of a focus than it ever has💪

Whilst I hope I have many more years on this planet, I want to have mobility and strength to make the most of it!

This year I am following a structured handstand program which not only challenges my strength and mobility but also my mind.
It’s a tough challenge learning any new skill but being persistent and seeing gains, no matter how small is so rewarding!

Have you set any goals this year, either for your body or your mind?

A great morning ride today. The climbs gave us a cardio heart pumping challenge (as you can hear in the clip) but the views at the top was worth it. Back to strength training tomorrow 🏋🏼🚲 with Mrs Mindgift

ARE YOU TELLING YOURSELF YOUR TOO OLD TO EXERCISE

I hear so many people say I’m too old to exercise! Sometimes I feel it’s because they don’t know what’s the best exercise to do or they lack motivation, have a long term illness, or a disability that holds them back💪 but as we always say ‘There is always a way’

Our goal is to live to 100.
Live 95.5 years being able to move well, carry stuff and keep our balance whilst eating healthy most of the time.
Do strength training, cardio exercises, walk distances etc. the last 6 months of our lives we don’t really care, because we will of already enjoyed our best life 🙏

Now in our 50’s we want to continue to build muscle, challenge our fitness over the next 50 years
What’s your goal????

Keeping exercise fun is the way for us to stay motivated. Every day is different from weight training to rowing to cycling and today was one of our favourites Paddle Boarding which really challenges your core strength and balance boards 💪😎

Really enjoyed training with my nephew at the gym. Much prefer this style of functional training in my 50’s ie pull up’s, sledge pushes, push ups etc, it’s going to help me a lot more in my later years than just pure weight training

Love being able to train outside with consistently good weather here in Spain. It was a rather moody sky but a really nice temperature to exercise.
I’m focusing on my straight arm strength and balance by doing handstand holds against the wall and L sits on my bars which are testing to say the least 🏋🏼🏋️‍♀️

Great to be back out in Spain again. We love cycling here as the weather makes picking a day to ride much easier than the UK.
First hill climb was a challenge but each week we will get better as with anything repetition will always get you fitter and stronger🏋🏻‍♀️🚵🇪🇸

Sorry guys having trouble with the Facebook app going live, should be with you in a few minutes

Join me and Helen for our weekly Facebook Live session tomorrow morning at 9:30am.
We have a 45 minute session with cardio, light weights (tins, water bottles etc), suitable for all ages and fitness.
I will be doing the harder variations and Helen will do a modified session.
Have a great weekend everyone
