Fit over Forty falsehood!!!

I’m too old.

I’m too fat.

I’m too “Fill in the Blank“!!

Being more fit over forty is quite achievable!!! IF you want it to be!!

“IF” is the Keyword.

In my opinion, improvement is ALWAYS an option. If we have breath in our lunges then we can improve ourselves.

I had a conversation with a 40+ year old gentleman whose trials and decisions led him to a point in his life of weight an excess of 300 pounds on a 5′-8″ frame. He began telling me :

“My doctor told me to exercise more to lose weight so my back and my knees would quit hurting so much.” he began sharing while parking his walking canes between us on the bench.

“When I walk a lot and exercise it makes my knees and back hurt more! What can I do? I’m doomed either way.” Shaking a scowled face toward me.

“What do you think?” he asked in a semi-rhetorical demeanor.

We discussed he food choices which is 80 % percent of the battle.

He realized after we spoke that He did not need to hit the gym in triathlon training. He needed the Mindset first!!  Scriptures tell us that “Where there is no vision, the people perish:” _Proverbs 29:18A.

So he realized that he could do little steps that can grow. He could more his arms, straighten his legs such as a assisted leg extension one at a time. Once he had a vision to make it happen. He is able to go forward and conquer.  NEVER Give up!
