Muscle Is Medicine: Why Boomers Need To Lift More And Complain Less
Most people your age don’t need more supplements. They need more muscle. The kind that protects your bones, sharpens your brain, and keeps you out of the waiting room with the sad magazines. Time to lift something heavier than your excuses.
Change Isn’t the Enemy. It’s the Gatekeeper.
Change isn’t easy, especially when you’ve been doing things a certain way for sixty years. But staying the same is harder in the long run. The truth is, comfort will kill you faster than effort ever will. Behavioral change after sixty isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about reclaiming the person you were meant to be before life, habits, and convenience got in the way. It’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, and absolutely necessary if you want to keep moving, thinking, and living like you still have something left to do.
I Would Do Anything, But I Won’t Do That
We all say we’d “do anything” to get in shape, until someone tells us what “anything” actually means. The truth is, most people don’t want to change, they want to feel like they’re trying. Giving up sugar, pasta, or alcohol isn’t complicated, it’s just uncomfortable. And that’s the toll: you either pay it or you stay stuck. This isn’t about perfection or punishment. It’s about honesty. If you’d “do anything,” prove it. Because the difference between “I can’t” and “I won’t” is the difference between talking about change and living it.
