Feel Better in Your 40s Than You Did in Your 20s—Here’s How

I recently turned 40, and honestly, I feel stronger, healthier, and more energized than I did at 20. In this video, I’m sharing the daily non-negotiables that help me stay fit as I age, including hydration, green smoothies, cardio, strength training, mobility, recovery, and the mindset that keeps me consistent. This isn’t about trying to look 20 forever. It’s about building habits now that help you move well, feel capable, and keep doing what you love for decades to come. I’m also sharing how growing up with cerebral palsy shaped my approach to fitness and taught me to work with my body, not use physical limitations as an excuse to stop moving.
