On episode 699 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan sits down with Ben Mudge, an online coach and author of the new book, Fitness Without Limits: Break Through Obstacles, Live Without Fear, and Find a Better You.
Ben’s story is nothing short of remarkable—born with cystic fibrosis, he’s defied expectations to become an accomplished athlete and a beacon of hope for others looking to reclaim their health, no matter the obstacles.
In this episode, Ben shares how redefining our beliefs around limits—especially as we age—can empower us to live healthier, more energetic lives. Together, Allan and Ben discuss the foundational principles Ben covers in his book, including the critical importance of sleep, nutrition, movement, and mental health.
You’ll also hear practical advice about getting started (even when the timing isn’t perfect), the value of consistency over perfection, and why tracking your progress is key to building momentum.
Whether you’re just beginning your fitness journey or you’re ready to break through plateaus, you’ll find loads of actionable strategies for setting realistic goals, bouncing back from setbacks, and building lasting habits. Ben’s story will remind you that limits are often self-imposed—and that it’s never too late to raise your own bar.
