Everyone knows the significance of exercise, good cusine and sufficient sleep/rest to stay in shape as we age. Few, however, know the little-known, but critically leading real inexpressive to staying fit after age 50. This missing link, which keeps so many from robust well-being in the second half of life, is belief.
Just about everybody age 50 and best would love to look younger, have the power of decades gone by, and be able to move and perform as they did in their youth. The major inhibitive to their taking the steps that would bring these worthwhile desires into fruition is their strong trust that this is just not going to happen. They whether believe it is impossible to greatly heighten the shape they are in or that, although it's probably possible, it's right on not worth the endeavor it would obviously entail.
Let's take a general look at the power of trust before we deal with the issue of getting fitter after 50. Think about all the gadgets, gizmos, furniture, clothing, knickknacks and polly-whacks that have taken up house in your home. Every one of these items, from the dishwasher to the latest-styled shoes to the most new electronic advancement to the knickknacks on your shelves, was at one time merely an idea in someone's head. Every one of this multitude of objects that now resides in your home would still be just a reasoning institute if it weren't for our friend, Belief. Someone believed that he (or she, which is, of course, understood) could take his idea, his desire, and make it a reality. That trust is what caused him to take action and persevere until the understanding was a manifested thing.
Let's take Tv, for example. Back in the 1920s, some men had the ridiculous idea (ridiculous for the time period) that they could send pictures wirelessly straight through the air, from coast to coast, no less. How crazy was that? Because Vladmir Kosma Zworykin at Westinghouse and Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a farm-boy/inventor from Utah and others believed that television was possible, we now enjoy what was, just a hundred years ago, unimaginable. Or, how about Percy Spencer, who in 1945 invented the microwave oven for the Raytheon Company? If he hadn't believed in the ridiculous understanding (ridiculous to most at the time) of cooking with microwaves, we wouldn't have this contemporary convenience. What about the many computerized devices we now rely on to help and entertain us? Back in the 1950s the first computers were the size of warehouses and small homes. Because some transmit thinkers believed they could shrink these monstrosities down to units that could fit on our desks and into the palm of our hand even, we have reaped rewards that were incomprehensible just a few short years ago. All these contemporary marvels that make life easier and more enjoyable for so many of us would still be just far-fetched ideas, if not for those who believed they could legitimately come to be a reality.
It's the same with us and our fitness and well-being after age 50. We can allow the desires/ideas we have of getting in far best shape to stay in the purely reasoning realm or we can act on these desires to look, feel and perform at levels heretofore understanding to be the exclusive domain of the young. If you truly believe, you'll take the indispensable steps.
If you need help in believing that you can reclaim the power levels you had decades ago and the general youthfulness you desire, just look at what some masters athletes are achieving in the world of cycling, running, swimming... While in their sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond (see the book, Fitter After 50 or Age Blasters). These virtually ageless athletes are enjoying athletic achievements that our grandparents back in the 1950s and 1960s couldn't even conceive of, never mind attempt. They are able to run 26.2-mile marathons, cycle hundreds of miles and even compete well in 140.6-mile Ironman triathlon races because they believe they can. The only thing that is legitimately legitimately stopping you from staying fit after 50, or getting fitter after 50 than you were before the big 50, is Belief. Believe it and you can perform it.
