I have spent seasons of my life training for how my body looked.
Now, I’m much more interested in what my body allows me to do.
Can I accept an invitation to hike without wondering if I will be able to finish?
Can I travel, scuba dive, kayak and explore?
Can I carry groceries, climb stairs and get up from the floor without thinking twice?
Can I remain independent as I get older?
That is what fitness means to me now.
Strength training helps me keep the muscle I need to support my body.
Walking and cardiovascular exercise build the endurance to keep going.
Balance, stability and mobility help me move with more confidence.
Recovery allows my body to actually benefit from all of it.
Yes, I still want to look fit. I’m not going to pretend appearance no longer matters to me.
But I no longer want a body that only looks capable.
I want one that lets me say yes to a bigger life.
That is the kind of fitness I am building at 52.
