How I Stay Lean & Strong at (Almost) 50: Proven Habits

People ask me all the time how I stay lean, strong, and energized in midlife.

Here’s the truth:

It’s not genetics.

It’s not willpower.
And it’s definitely not perfection.

It’s habits.

Here are a few things I do—and what I have my clients do—to stay lean and strong year-round at (almost) 50:

1️⃣ I don’t run. I ruck.

I walk 2.5–3 miles daily with a weighted backpack for Zone 2 cardio.

This supports recovery from lifting, improves metabolic health, and keeps stress hormones in check.

2️⃣ I eat boring on purpose.

I eat the same meals on repeat.

No decision fatigue.

No constant tracking chaos.

Just consistency.

3️⃣ I always have food with me.

I’d rather eat a prepared meal in my car than skip meals or rely on takeout.

Consistency beats convenience.

4️⃣ My lifts and rucks are non-negotiable.

Even if they’re shorter some days, I still show up.

Progress comes from consistency—not perfection.

5️⃣ I move all day—not just in workouts.

Steps, walks, stairs, parking far away—these “movement snacks” add up.

This is how you increase daily energy output without burning out.

6️⃣ I protect my sleep like it’s my job.

Especially with Hashimoto’s, sleep is non-negotiable for recovery, hormones, and fat loss.

Being lean, fit, and strong in midlife does not happen by accident.

It’s the result of:

  • Structure
  • Support
  • Day-to-day consistency
