Self Love is a must! A Reality Check For Our Generation.
As a fitness professional in my forties, I am sailing in the same boat as many of my clients aged 40 and above.
Kids are growing, parents are aging—both needing our care, with emotional and financial support resting heavily on our shoulders.
We become the pillars of strength for everyone.
And if you’re in IT or any demanding job today, the stress includes job insecurity or competing for better opportunities.
If you have a partner sharing that vision, count yourself lucky. Otherwise, the struggle feels even heavier
Where should your body and mind be?
In these most challenging phases of life, where should your body and mind be? Science and logic say at your peak performance, ready to take on whatever comes.
But real life? Most of us are battling low energy, increased weight, medications, and burnout.
The very responsibilities that motivate us also exhaust us.
We find endless reasons not to start fitness routines.
And if at this stage you say, “I don’t like working out or exercising,” my simple question to you is—do you have a choice to breathe? Whether you like it or not, you have to breathe to keep going.
Similarly, workouts and nutrition are non-negotiable elements you must take care of. There is no choice.
Believe me, I get it. But here’s the flip—if you don’t invest in anti-aging measures like exercise and nutrition now, the road ahead will be tougher.
Creative approach
Here’s a simple plan that anyone can start:
- Weight train at least 3 days a week to rebuild strength and resilience.
- Do 3 days of cardio—walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming—to boost heart health and mood.
- You can combine weight training and cardio in one session so three to four days are enough for both.
- Stretch after every session to preserve flexibility and avoid injuries.
- Eat a balanced diet that fuels your body for success, not just survival.
Remember: Loving your family means showing up strong for them. And that starts with loving you first.
