Never too late to start

Whatever your goals are it’s never too late, I started lifting weights age 39 thinking I’d try and get in shape for when I hit the big 40, last year age 42 I started competing as a bodybuilder and placed 2nd at the British finals, this year I became English Gran Prix champion winning both my class and the overall qualifying me for the WABBA Mr Universe in portugal this coming weekend something I never would have thought possible. Work hard, be consistent and you never know what you can achieve

    Wow that’s fantastic, congrats on your achievements! You are right, it’s never too late to get fit! I was sedentary my entire life until I started exercising regularly at age 38 and now I’m a runner, something I never thought I’d identify myself as. At age 40 I discovered my true passion... trail running! Keep up the great work! :)
