Hard to believe that this was over 4 years ago. Where does the time go?

Newtownabbey PT's new venture training cancer patients inspired by sister-in-law "When you meet someone who is going through such a disease as cancer and their goal is to survive, it goes past the superficial nature of the fitness industry and completely changed my mindset on what we look at as important"

Athleticism After 40 🏃‍♂️💪

After 40, muscle isn’t just about having more size or looking leaner.

It’s about keeping your athleticism.

Being able to sprint, jump, change direction, accelerate, decelerate, get off the ground, carry things, move explosively, and trust your body to do what you ask of it.

That’s what we should be training for.

Because getting older doesn’t mean you have to become less athletic. But if you stop challenging your body, you will gradually lose the qualities that make you feel capable.

Strength gives you the foundation. Muscle gives you the capacity. Athletic training teaches you how to use it.

After 40, your training should include more than just lifting weights for aesthetics.

🏋️ Build and maintain muscle
⚡ Train power and explosiveness
🏃‍♂️ Keep sprinting and moving fast
🦵 Train balance, stability and coordination
🤸‍♂️ Maintain mobility and range of motion
🎯 Challenge your body in different planes and positions

You don’t need to train like you’re 20.

You need to train so that your 50-year-old self can still move like an athlete.

Because the goal isn’t simply to live longer.

It’s to stay capable while you’re here.

Your 40s aren’t the beginning of slowing down.

They can be the beginning of training with a whole new purpose.

My wee mate turns 9 today and he is super excited to go watch Manchester United’s first premier league game of the season. Massive happy birthday from mummy Elizabeth AnnHair and daddy, you’re the craziest boy and we love you more than you will ever know. ⚽️ ⚽️ ❤️❤️

What a change we managed with this guy while getting him ready for his wedding, what a result 💪

Well done mate 💪✅💪
However there is so much more to come from this guy. 🔥🔥

I have been working with young Emerson for several months now and to say the kid has come on leaps and bounds would be an understatement. The young kid has athleticism to burn and I am looking forward to seeing how the young man develops.
Definitely one of my favourite clients lol.

I’ve been coaching young Venice with his running over the past few months, and the kid has made incredible progress while only running once per week.

Venice is a very active kid, playing football and pretty much any other sport that comes his way, so he already had a decent fitness base to start from.

But going from a 32:46 5K to an amazing 23:22 5K in just a few months is unbelievable work.

Well done, kid 💪💪
