Back in my 20’s I helped with an art class for the homeless at the Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda, so wonderful to find these pictures that were gifted to me at that time. #volunteeringmatters

There is a massive difference between treating fitness as a phase and treating it as a way of living.
When you see those of us in our 40s and beyond who are in incredible shape, you are looking at people who stopped making sacrifices a long time ago. Instead, we made a choice.
To the outside world, our lifestyle looks like a series of restrictions. No nights out, no junk food, no breaks. People think we possess superhuman willpower.
But from the inside, it requires almost no willpower at all.
Why? Because we made that choice which shifted our identity. We don’t crave junk food because it doesn’t agree with the body anymore. Instead, we eat what fuels us and makes us function well. There is no feeling of deprivation when your actions align perfectly with your values. For us, it isn’t a sacrifice; it is the ultimate form of self-respect.
Now, look at the other side of the coin.
A lot of people who look incredible at 25 will not maintain that look into their 40s.
At 25, youth provides a natural biological buffer. A fast metabolism and rapid recovery can easily compensate for a lot of lifestyle inconsistencies. The trap is that when staying in shape requires less effort, it’s easy to treat fitness as a temporary project rather than learning how to truly live this way.
But youth eventually expires. When that biological buffer fades and life gets complicated, a temporary project mindset completely collapses. You cannot outwork a changing biology without deep roots.
For us, fitness isn’t a project we run to when we have time—it is part of our daily life.
