Burden Lightened - MWM

Experiencing physical limitations as you age is a normal process for everyone. We may not always be able to do the things we used to as we get older and accepting this reality can be difficult for some. Many older active adults have physical limitations that could have been caused by many things including past injuries, illness or normal wear and tear. Making sure you are OK with these changes and accepting them gracefully will help contribute to a longer and healthier life.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Why we decided to dedicate an episode to this important topic and some of the emails and feedback we get from our subscribers regarding their struggles of dealing with physical limitations.

2). How easy it can be to overestimate the amount of energy required to do a workout especially if you've been away from exercise for a while or have struggled with past physical challenges.

3). How our attitudes about why we exercise can change over time and why that can be a good thing later in life.

4). How dealing with physical limitations over time can affect your mental and emotional state.

5). The importance of prioritizing the big picture and long game when it comes to aging and your physical limitations.
