“I’m Too Old For This”
The internet is full of inspirational stories. And one story I recently stumbled on surely did not disappoint.
"Too old for this" is a phrase many of us have probably used, but one that never applied to Richard Morgan. At 93, Richard is not just living; he's setting world records.
His story fired me up and is a testament to one of the values TRAIN HARD is built on: it's never too late to start.
You can read the FULL STORY HERE, but I will give you the cliff notes below.
Twenty years ago, at the ripe age of 73, Richard was anything but an athlete. But then, a casual offer to try rowing at his grandson's practice marked the beginning of a pretty inspiring journey. Fast forward to today, and Richard has four world championships under his belt and a rowing record that spans nearly ten times the Earth's circumference. Richard is rewriting the narrative on aging and fitness, and in his story, there is a lesson for all of us.
Richard's regimen is straightforward but effective: a mix of rowing that spans all intensity levels, complemented by resistance training (similar to the style of training you’ll see on the TRAIN HARD App).
Richard’s lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, and cardiovascular health rival those of men decades younger. He reminds us all that the deterioration we’ve all come to accept as an inevitable part of aging is anything but that.
Whether you're 20, 40, or 93, the best time to start is now. Your future self will thank you. Your family will thank you. Everyone around you will thank you. And most importantly, the legacy you begin today will inspire YOU for years to come.
No matter your age or current fitness level, let's make this year about breaking barriers and setting new standards for what you can achieve in and outside the gym. It's never too late to change your life, to TRAIN HARD, and to craft a story that will inspire others to do the same.
So, here's to starting today and the never-ending pursuit of excellence.
Let's TRAIN HARD and prove that age is but a number on the path to greatness.
