This episode with Allan Misner really helps us dig into health and fitness habits for the 40+ crowd. Listen in to hear Allan’s personal story, how his commitment to his own health and fitness was lacking and how he transformed his body and life.
Coach Allan is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer, a Precision Nutrition Level II Master Health Coach, and a Certified Functional Aging Specialist.
What health and fitness personality are you? Allan categorizes individuals into five types based on their motivation and approach to fitness, each with its strengths and challenges. Understanding your fitness personality can help you leverage it for sustained health and wellness.
We also talk about the importance of resistance training, particularly as we age, to combat natural declines in muscle mass and bone density. Allan emphasizes the critical role of the endocrine system in overall health, highlighting how diet, exercise, stress, and environmental factors influence our hormonal balance and ultimately, our overall health.
I appreciate Allan’s practical approach to diet, urging us to return to whole, unprocessed foods and cautioning against the pitfalls of diet culture. He stresses the importance of community and accountability in the fitness journey, alongside developing habits and an identity aligned with health and fitness goals.
This episode will provide you with motivation, practical advice, and great analogies, perfect if you are looking to embrace a healthier, more active lifestyle, especially as you navigate the challenges and opportunities of aging.
