Over 40 & skipping the gym?

Why men and women over 40 can’t afford to skip the gym and how Body Torque can help

Once you hit your 40s and beyond, your body starts to send a clear message – use it or lose it, so skipping the gym is probably not a good idea. Furthermore, in New Zealand, men over 40 can face serious health risks, many of which are preventable through the lifestyle choices we make.

• Heart disease is still the #1 killer of Kiwi men
• Type 2 diabetes is rising fast
• Mental health challenges are often unspoken, and deadly
• Muscle mass and mobility decline, making everyday activities harder
• And prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men

But the good news is, most of these issues do not need to define your future. With the right training, support, and environment you can not only protect your health, but thrive as you age. Here’s how Body Torque can help:

What it really means to be fit at 40+

It’s not about lifting the heaviest weights or chasing aesthetics (though we can help with that too). It’s all about:

• Feeling confident in your body
• Having energy to play with your kids or grandkids
• Staying independent as you age
• Being able to travel, hike, golf, or just move without pain
• Living longer, and living well
