No, you’re not too old to start working out

Ageing isn’t what it used to be - and thank goodness for that. The idea that your best years are behind you after 40 is one of those outdated myths that deserves to be retired, preferably alongside your excuses. Whether you’re 35 or 65, the truth is simple: it’s never too late to start working out. In fact, the later you start, the more there is to gain.

Movement isn’t about punishment or penance. It’s about preserving the life you want to lead. You don't need to train like an athlete, but you do need to move with intention and purpose. Resistance training helps protect bone density and muscle mass, cardio keeps your heart sharp, and regular activity sharpens your mental game. It’s not about chasing a six-pack, it’s about being able to carry the shopping without pulling a muscle.

So no, you’re not too old to start. The best time to start might’ve been 20 years ago, but the second-best time is now. Lace up. Get moving. And keep going.
