Blood sugar after 40: the 3 PM crash, sweets after dinner, a belly that won't move. That isn't just age.

After 35, the body tends to handle sugar worse. Less muscle means fewer places for the sugar from a meal to go.

So we build the storage first: strength training 90 minutes a week, three sessions of thirty minutes, scaled to where you are. Then we check the plate. That's where we start with every client at their first session at our gym in Durham, NC.

Get your A1C checked with your doctor so you know your number.

Next post: six "healthy" foods. Gain fat or lose fat?

Save this for your next 3 PM crash.

Get Strong. Be Healthy. Live Long.

Insulin resistance after 35: a belly that won't move, crashing at 3 PM, sweets after dinner, brain fog at your desk.

I'm Einar, a personal trainer in Durham, NC. These can all be signs your body isn't handling blood sugar well. Here's where we start:

1. Lift weights 90 minutes a week. Muscle is where your blood sugar goes.
2. Protein at every meal, starting with breakfast.
3. Walk 10 minutes after you eat.
4. Stop drinking your sugar.
5. Sleep 7 hours.

Get your A1C checked with your doctor so you know your number.

Comment STRONG and I'll send you the 3-step plan every client gets at their first session.

Get Strong. Be Healthy. Live Long.

Send this to a friend who still thinks skinny is the goal.

Jean joined us in her 60s. Lloyd is 53. Both trained to be strong, not skinny, from day one.

These are their own results. Yours will be your own.

We coach strength training in Durham for busy adults over 35, three 30-minute sessions a week. Looking for a personal trainer in Durham? This is what we train for.

Yesterday Jean showed you it is not too late. Today, the part most people never say out loud.

For a lot of adults starting again after 40, the hardest step is walking into a room full of strangers. You are not sure what to do first. Somebody is on the thing you wanted. So you do twenty minutes of something safe and leave. Then you go less often. Then you stop.

A private gym in Durham solves a different problem. Your session is planned before you arrive. Nobody is in your way. A coach fixes your form while you lift. And the room is a few people who know your name.

M.E. had been a member of a lot of gyms. In her words, IKAIKA was not your typical gym experience.

Tomorrow: two members over 50, and what they actually trained for.

Save this if you think it's too late.

Jean joined us in her 60s with a clear reason: keep up with her 2-year-old granddaughter.

She wanted more energy and more strength. She got both, and her body composition improved along the way. Today she is strong enough to play with her.

The plan every member runs is strength training in Durham, three 30-minute sessions a week. Looking for a personal trainer in Durham? It is not too late to start.

Too tired to start. Too late to start. Both sound reasonable. Both are wrong.

Most people never set realistic fitness goals. They talk themselves out of starting first.

One of our members was sure training would leave her more tired. She ended up with more energy throughout the day.

On Wednesday, meet a member who joined us in her 60s.

The work is strength training in Durham, 90 minutes a week: three sessions, thirty minutes each, scaled to where you are. Looking for a personal trainer in Durham? Start here.

Save this for the next time you hear yourself say "too late."

Send this to a tired friend.

You are not getting old. You are running on empty, and you stopped noticing when it started.

Six signs in the video. None of them are age. All six come back with 90 minutes a week.

Lose Fat. Gain Energy. Feel Strong Again.

They trained to be strong, not skinny.

Jean joined us in her 60s. Lloyd is 53. Both trained to be strong, not skinny, from day one.

These are their own results. Yours will be your own.

If you know someone over 35 who wants to get strong, bring them.

Saturday October 24 at 9:00 AM, here in Durham. Thirty minutes at beginner pace, right next to you. Fifteen minutes of coffee after. Nothing to buy, and nobody sells them anything.

Six spots. RSVP closes Wednesday October 21.

DM me GUEST and I will save one.

Lose Fat. Gain Energy. Feel Strong Again.

Yesterday Jean showed you it is not too late. Today, the other half: fitness goals you can actually keep.

Most goals get written on the day you feel your worst, then built for a week you do not have. Five or six days. An hour a session. A number on the scale.

Daniela started postpartum, back at work as a new mom. What mattered most to her was not an exercise. It was scheduling that moved when her week moved.

The goals worth setting after 35: get stronger at three specific lifts, train ninety minutes a week, eat real food, and have more energy at six in the evening.

The same ninety minutes runs one to one, in small group, and in our group class.

Tomorrow I will show you the easiest way to try it.
