Allan Misner - Over 40+ Fitness Podcast
In this podcast episode, Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Allan Misner from the 40+ Fitness Podcast. They discuss the evolution of fitness training for people over 40 and the importance of personalized approaches. Allan shares his journey, highlighting how his personal transformation led him to become a personal trainer to understand his own fitness needs. He recounts losing 66 pounds through a combination of paleo, keto, and intermittent fasting, and realizing that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work in fitness.
Allan explains how he initially believed in heavy lifting and low-carb diets for everyone but learned the importance of tailoring fitness plans to individual needs, using the example of his first online client who struggled with simple activities. They discuss the importance of starting small and progressing gradually, emphasizing that everyone’s fitness journey is unique.
The conversation shifts to the concept of using different "vehicles" (sports car, pickup truck, minivan) as metaphors for the pace and style of one’s fitness journey, depending on life circumstances. They stress that progress, regardless of speed, is valuable and that life itself is the journey, not an obstacle.
Brad and Allan also touch on the importance of journaling to track progress, recognizing and celebrating small victories, and maintaining a positive mindset. They highlight that maintaining fitness sometimes means adapting to new realities and that it’s okay to set new, realistic goals based on current capabilities.
In conclusion, Allan shares how listeners can connect with him through his podcast, book, and website, emphasizing continuous learning and adaptation in fitness. Brad appreciates Allan’s insights and looks forward to sharing more fitness tips for the over-40 community.
