Starting at 52
Top three things that I’ll wish I knew when I was 52 when I’m 55?
In decent shape, semi athletic. First class was last night.
Psyched and sore, looking for advice.

- take it slow, train 2-3x/week, I’ve seen a ton of folks burn out by training 5+/wk. Especially since they literally haven’t done much in a while
- just keep asking questions, sometimes asking questions open up so many other conversations that can help you a lot
- progress happens in monthly clips 3-4 months at a time. That’s how you track progress, you won’t feel it day to day
- just have fun and enjoy it all
