Forget six-packs - in your 40s, fitness is about feeling good, not looking good.

Let’s face it - most of us in our 40s aren’t hitting the gym for six-packs or beach bodies anymore. The idea of chasing aesthetics just doesn’t feel exciting or meaningful. But here’s the twist: strength training and fitness aren’t about looking good- they’re about feeling good.

When you feel strong and healthy, everything changes. You’re more productive at work, more present with your family, energised for your friends, and - most importantly - happier within yourself.

In the latest episode of How to Live, I speak with Alex Mearns, founder of Levitise, who works with C-suite leaders to transform their fitness and health holistically. His clients include leaders from BCG, UBS, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.

We dive into:
✨ Why cholesterol isn’t the real health villain
✨ How to master the "upward spiral" approach to sustainable fitness
✨ Breakthrough strategies that actually work
✨ Designing a health plan that fits your busy life

This episode is a reminder that fitness isn’t about vanity - it’s the foundation for thriving in all areas of life.
