Are you 40 or older? At Vision Personal Training Engadine, we specialise in helping people just like you take back control of their health in a safe, sustainable, and empowering way.


Most of the amazing people we coach every day are in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. And one of the most common beliefs we come across is this:


“It’s just harder now. Maybe this is just the way it is…”
But let’s get real for a second.


Yes, there are new challenges as you get older:
* Your body doesn’t bounce back the way it used to
* Injuries can set you back more than before
* Your calendar is full and your energy can feel limited
* Health issues like blood pressure, cholesterol, fatty liver, and osteoporosis become very real


But here’s what we know from working with hundreds of people just like you:
You’re not done.
You’re not stuck.
And no, you do NOT have to settle.


In fact, with the right approach, you can lose weight, gain strength, increase your energy, and enjoy a better quality of life than ever before.


Let’s break it down into three core pillars that matter most.

Move Your Body with Purpose
Sure, you’re not 25 anymore. But guess what? That’s actually an advantage.
You’ve learned the power of consistency. You understand that long term effort pays dividends, just like compound interest.
And that same principle applies to exercise.


What you need:
* 2-3 sessions per week of strength training (30–40 mins each)
* Brisk walking most days
* Gentle movement like stretching or yoga when you need it


Why strength training?
Because from age 30, you naturally start losing muscle—up to 5% per decade if you don’t train. Less muscle means slower metabolism, more fat gain, and higher injury risk.
Strength training protects your bones, builds lean tissue, improves posture, and gives you lasting energy.
