One of the challenges with fitness, particularly as we exit our 20s, move through our 30s and into our 40s, is that changes in our bodies due to age and metabolism work against us and how we view ourselves. Once we understand that the ripped abs, super slim hips and really toned arms were more a function of our age than the work we put in back in the day, and we learn to accept some of the changes in our body that come over time, it frees us up to do the important things related to our health and fitness. Things like staying consistent with exercise versus going 110% at every workout like we used to. Things like getting the rest our body needs to recover and de-stress, as opposed to staying up into the wee hours of the night like we did when we were younger. Times change and so do our requirements for health. Be patient with yourself and remember it’s about long-term health, not a fitness competition.
Be Patient
