𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐏𝐞𝐫f𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨f F𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝟒𝟖

The videos I’ve shared recently have generated quite a bit of interest, particularly regarding 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 f𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝟒𝟖. Let me be transparent about what this actually involves.

F𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. The days of sporadic, extremely intense workouts are behind me. Instead, I focus on daily movement, whether it’s swimming laps, strength training, or mobility work. This consistent approach has kept me injury-free and maintained my energy levels throughout long teaching days.

𝐌𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, which some of you have seen in my recent posts, focuses on functional movements that directly support my work as a swimming instructor. The plank-to-pushup variations I perform aren’t just for show – they build the core stability and upper body strength I need to demonstrate proper swimming technique repeatedly throughout the day.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 j𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥f. At 48 I can’t ignore signals my body sends me. Adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and active recovery sessions are non-negotiable parts of my routine. This isn’t about being “old” – it’s about being smart.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨f f𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. I’m no longer training to impress others or chase arbitrary fitness goals. Every workout has a purpose: maintaining the physical capacity to be an effective instructor, setting a positive example for my students, and preserving my long-term health.
