Last week I turned 60.

One of my pre-60 challenges, was to achieve a non-assisted pull-up. So that's the reason for sharing the frog kicking chin-up video - I did it, maybe not very glamorously, but I did it!!

This didn't happen overnight and I had to dig deep with consistency, accountability and dismiss the self doubt. I made HUGE progress over the past few months from having a 70kg weight to assist me on the machine down to 5.7kg to relying on just my own body weight. Wowzer.

Now planning to take this new challenge further. Any suggestions?

As my quote says, I'm feeling:

💪 stronger
❤️ healthier
🤸🏽 fitter
⚡ more energised
😃 and adventurous

than when I was in my 30s and 40s.

Part of that is because of my own 30 years health challenges, which impacted my mental and physical health, performance, confidence, mood, presence. However, during those 30 years, I still:

- travelled the world
- worked in an international corporate role
- had 2 limited companies
- raised a family

15 years ago, following 2 operations, I took matters into my own hands and transformed my life and health. Never looked back.

So here I am now coaching and transforming the lives of others. One client called me 'the secret weapon of the over 50s'.

But don't wait until your 50s to ask yourself what you would like YOUR body and mind to do for you in the next 5, 10, 20 years and beyond.

So why am I doing this? Why do I want to be strong?

As we age we lose muscle mass and bone density - this starts in our 30s.

We need to ensure we have:

💪🏽 strength
⚖️ balance
⚡ energy
🤸🏽 flexibility
🏃🏻‍♀️ ease of movement

so that we may prevent frailty, falls, aches and pains, broken bones and weakened body composition and bad posture.

Remember - skinny is not sexy, strong is sexy!!
