“She looks GREAT for her age!”

You nod in agreement…

…but in the back of your mind, you believe that you will be in better condition when you reach that same age.

If you are young?

I encourage you to think like this.

…but staying fit and vibrant won’t happen by accident.

It requires work and mental toughness.

…especially from your late 30’s onward.

If you are 35 or older?

The free ride of looking and feeling great with minimal effort is OVER.

You don’t realize how easy you had it in your 20’s and 30’s…until you are in your 40’s and beyond.

As you get older, don’t just sit back and age gracefully!

“Aging Gracefully” just sounds so passive.

Fight aging until you have no fight left.

Starting at around the age of 40-50, the vast majority of people slowly become shells of their former selves.

I plan on working hard at staying young.

Don’t aim for average!

Have higher standards for your life.

When it comes to aging extremely well and staying fit, it is hard to find a better example than Keanu Reeves.

Here’s a picture taken from a scene in the movie John Wick.

He looks great for his age!

…and I mean that.

Keanu Reeves was 50 when John Wick was filmed.

He looks incredible for 50.

Most of us aren’t ever going to be that handsome.

…but we can maintain our strength and mobility if we work at it like Keanu obviously has.

What if you don’t have awesome genetics

Be like Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge!

Clint was 56 when this movie was filmed.

…and he looks 56.

He isn’t “aging gracefully”.

He is kicking ass regardless of his age!

There is no problem with looking your age.

Just make sure you are the most bad-ass energetic man or woman you can possibly be!

You are NOT going to beat wrinkles and obvious age patterns.

…but you can have a body that operates decades younger than your actual age.

Where do most people screw up?

The majority of people focus on diet, but my research has shown it is lack of proper exercise that accelerates the aging process.

Your body begins to break down and decay in your 40’s and 50’s… it becomes the body’s default mode.

Why does this happen?

From an evolutionary point of view, we aren’t as useful after our childbearing years.

We aren’t reproducing…

…and we are taking up valuable resources like water and food.

Young pregnant couples like these are NOT happy about it!

Don’t get fooled by the innocent look in the picture above.

That couple just Googled “How to make old people disappear”.

…and they are laughing about it!

If that young guy does try and come after you?

I want you to go Heartbreak Ridge and show him what’s up!

Okay…

Obviously, it isn’t Old People VS  Pregnant Couples.

…but you got to admit, it is funny to imagine.

It’s us against a body that wants to wither away by default.

There is only one way to slow this process to a crawl.

It is with exercise.
