‘I’m too old for that’…blah blah!

Looking back on the last 15 years of my career, I realised that every person that had a part to play in my love of wellness and movement, as well as in my training, were all individuals mid 40’s and older! The gym that I started training in was owned by a wonderful man in his late 50’s at the time. He was (and still is) a buff, slab of a man with a wealth of knowledge about physique. He sparked my love of exercise and teaching. At the exact same facility, the aerobics classes were run by a group of instructors all in their late 30’s and 40’s with bodies of 20 year old’s! They gave class with more vooma than we had, at times some of the females instructed right through their own pregnancy’s (and often had their kiddies on the gym floor with them), flawless bods, rolling with their daily schedules like it was just how it was done! These women just had no end. To their passion, to their capacity and to their energy. It was infectious!
