A busy physician, father and a husband gets in the best shape of his life at age 40

Meet my awesome client Mubeen Ali. We have been working together for about two years.

There are number of factors you need to pay more attention to when it comes to training and nutrition when you go into your late 30s and 40s. Here are four major ones.

• Joint friendly – Not all training programs are created equal. You need to plan training splits and exercise selection in a way that leaves enough time for connective tissues to recover so the fatigue doesn’t build up over time and lead to injuries.
• Exercise selection – Consider the risk to reward ratio when selecting exercises.
• Protein distribution – You need to pay more attention to protein distribution even though the daily protein requirement doesn’t change with age.
• Time efficient – You don’t have the same time you used to have. Doing hours of cardio & training is taking the time away from family & kids.

You can follow a restrictive regime and a boring meal plan for a short period. But it’s tough to eat boiled chicken and broccoli for an extended period of time. You shouldn’t try to do it anyways. It’s a depressing way to live. What’s the point if you can’t enjoy dinner with your family.

Here is the thing, you don’t have to eat the things you don’t enjoy and do hours of training to get in shape and improve health.

That’s why I structured my program in a way helping clients understand the scientific principles that influence results. You know what to do in different situations when you understand the principles that affect outcomes and have more tools in your toolbox.
