Getting fit after 40? Chances are, you’ve been lied to—by outdated science, bad Instagram advice, or even your own memories of a younger, fitter you. In this episode of Healthspan Digest, Aaron Shaw—occupational therapist, strength coach, and founder of Healthspan PhysioCoaching—exposes the 3 biggest myths that derail middle-aged adults from getting strong, staying energized, and living pain-free.

🔥 Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Why motivation and willpower aren’t your problem
• The danger of going “all in” with extreme workouts or diets
• Why resistance training beats cardio for health, longevity, and fat loss
• How to design a sustainable daily routine that fits your real life
• The 15-minute exercise that can change everything

Whether you’ve been inconsistent with workouts or just overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode gives you the clarity—and the realistic action steps—you need to finally build the healthy, resilient body you want.
