They say that with age comes wisdom. I was intrigued by the title of the article and decided to share with you all.
The main reason why I’m sharing the article is to let it be known that you are strong. And as long as you are taking the steps to live a healthy lifestyle you will be alright.
As I have seen my own body progress with being slightly overweight and unhealthy I am able to see how now I can do things I couldn’t do before. But I know as much as I train now , it won’t be like this forever. Times change and the body does too. The question to the young reader is, where do you see yourself fitness wise 10yrs from now? The question to everybody else is, what steps can you take on your day to day task towards your fitness goal?
When 85yr old stubborn grandpa broke his hip he didn’t want help from anybody else but me. I knew I had to strengthen my body to help him up without jeopardizing my own body. I did get stronger and grandpa healed and got strong again too.
Young reader, get stronger. Yes you can. Do it all and do it with good form.
To my Original gangsters you too, can get your body stronger. Not in the sense you’ll lift heavy deadlifts or snatches . But in the sense that you can have better awareness of your body. More discipline and more focus towards your health with a gentle approach.
Moving efficiently with your own breath. That’s where we all fit. Whether you’re young or an original gánster. Always come back to your breath. Whether you’re running or walking, awareness to your breath.
The big Y (Why)
Choose your why. Why do you want to achieve your fitness goal? And believe me when I tell you it needs to be something bigger than yourself. I’m not saying that “Because you want to fit in to your new jeans you haven’t wore” or you “Want to look good at your wedding” are not good enough reasons. These reasons are only temporary and will not be able to stick when the going get tough.
It can also be something simple like I tell my OG’s in class “We do utkatasana (chair pose) to get in and out of the toilet with ease”. Whatever we do in the mat (your sport) needs to transfer to real life. It needs to transfer to the bigger picture. It needs to transfer to 10-20 years down the road.
Accidents and injuries do happen. With love and patience you will get better. That’s, YWeFit.
Long term commitment. Long term health and fitness. Light and love to all.
Namaste ✨♥️
See you at the mat.
“We all need lots of powerful long range goals to help us past the short-term obstacles.”
