Aging is a natural part of life, but aging healthy, fit, and mentally grounded, well, that may take some practice. As we age gracefully, it’s still important to practice living focused, grounded, and intentional.
At MVP Transformation Fitness we believe there are five important areas of attention we must practice to stay fabulous after 50. Keep in mind, they're all interconnected, so it's suggested you make an effort to incorporate them all into your daily lifestyle habit-forming.
1- Reduce stress:
Reduce and eliminate stress-that means, avoid
people, situations, and relationships that may cause or bring you stress. Those
things we can’t avoid such as work, traffic, or even the long grocery store line are out of our control. Just
breathe and keep your health in mind as you move through it.
2- Spirituality:
Practice and maintain a strong prayer and meditation life. Prayer not only is about your faith, but it helps you mentally too. Keeping you intentional throughout your entire lifestyle journey.
3- Practice a positive mindset:
Having
a healthy mindset is super important. Your mental health is your wealth. Without your strong and positive mental health, you cant
take care of others, work, grow and even keep your “marbles” [easily tempered]. It doesn’t mean
that we can’t allow ourselves to feel emotions when we need to feel or be upset, it’s
about not allowing that experience to take over our lives. To dictate our next steps or even neglect our self-care.
4- Maintain a fit and active lifestyle:
Those
of us who are over 50 know that we no longer wake up feeling like we use to 25
years ago. The aches and pains can be
REAL. This is why Fitness is so
paramount in our lives. As we age, not
only will a fitness routine help us maintain or lose unwanted weight, it will
help us with ALL the other things I’ve mentioned so far. It doesn’t need to be much, as little as 3
times per week will go a long way. So, you want to feel and look younger, I highly recommend you maintain a consistent fitness regimen if you haven't already. At MVP Transformation Fitness, we help you hone in all the necessary workouts, nutrition, and other lifestyle habits (stress reduction, positive mindset about your new journey and eating habits and more). We offer free discovery sessions to help you get started with the process.
5- Eat Right, Not Diet:
The last point I would like to mention is food, we must be more conscious of
what, why, and when we are eating. Aging well and looking fabulous over 50 means we more aware of taking care of
ourselves. Food is no exception. Stay
away from processed, fried, sugary foods. Eat cleaner by having fresh fruit, veggies (lots of them), good protein sources, and of course, plenty of water. This doesn't me you must deprive yourself, you must eat with intention by eating in moderation and infrequency of the not so healthy foods. We can help you learn how to best eat with our nutritional coaching program (which is a part of our PT program). Get your free consult today.
At our gym we focus on many of these areas of the lifestyle building blocks to provide a full circle of support while on your weight loss journey. So, if you think you struggle with areas holding you back from being your very best, contact us. We would love to help you look fabulous over 50 to keep being your fabulous self for many years to come.
