Do you wanna be startin’ to moon walk?
As the poet said:
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin’
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
So do you want to be starting something? Is it that you wanna be starting something new? Or is it that you wanna be starting over (i.e. coming back from time away or coming back from injury)? Wherever your fitness starting line is….you got this. Whether it’s walking, running, swimming, biking, triathlon, yoga, strength training, or even just chasing the dog around — NOW is the perfect time to be startin’ somethin’!
Time for a hard restart?
When we were younger taking on anything new was simply part of our adolescent programming…part of our OS source code. And as with any device that source code needs to be rewritten with every upgrade - school, work, having a family…and over time things that are more familiar and “safe” become part of our default settings. But now that you’ve hit midlife…it’s time for a serious restart.
Hello mid-lifer? Remember what made you, you.
Hello, McFly!
Remember what made you, you. We grew up in the 70s and 80s. Our phones had cords, our bikes had banana seats, and Saturday mornings were all about cartoons and cereal. We were feral and unsupervised and we wanted our MTV.
The world has changed around us. But what hasn’t changed is our independent spirit. We’ve got the wisdom, the attitude, and a whole lot of life left to live.
It’s not about keeping up with TikTok trends, it’s about making your health and fitness and wellbeing a priority. We’ve conquered mixtapes, rotary phones, and 256 levels of Pac-Man, so trust me, we can totally handle this!
Rebel Yell
Feeling nervous? Good! That’s just your inner rebel ready to break some new ground. You’ve got years of resilience, grit, and some serious life skills. You’re not just starting something new…you’re conquering new challenges! You’re not starting over, you’re coming back STRONGER! Like the man said…Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa. Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa. Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa!
I would love to hear what you’re starting new or starting over. We all would. Let’s do this together and encourage and inspire each other !
What is The Triathlife?
