Mastering Your Mindset - Training for your Tomorrow

January is the perfect time to set new fitness goals, and if you’re aiming for a healthier lifestyle this year, you’re in the right place. 

In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back Allan Misner, a fitness expert who knows a thing or two about building habits that stick. Allan is the host of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and functional aging specialist. He’s passionate about helping individuals over 40 reclaim their health and vitality—and his insights are more valuable than ever, especially as we look to make lasting changes this year.

In this episode, we dive deep into the challenges of staying fit as we age, but we don’t just talk about the struggles—we focus on the solutions. Life is unpredictable, and we all hit rough patches where motivation can dip, but Allan shares strategies to overcome these setbacks and stay on track toward your health goals.

From CPA to Fitness Expert: Allan’s Inspiring Journey

Before Allan became a fitness expert, he worked as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and internal auditor. His singular focus on his career left him unfit, unhealthy, and miserable, referring to his former self as “a real fat bastard”. 

Eventually, he was inspired to make a major career change, trading spreadsheets for fitness routines and became a certified personal trainer.  You can listen to the full story on Episode 11: Getting Fit After 40.

One of the most valuable parts of this conversation is Allan’s practical advice on building lasting fitness habits. It’s one thing to set a goal at the start of the year, but it’s another to stick with it. Allan shares simple yet effective strategies for staying motivated, even when life throws curveballs your way. His focus is on making fitness a natural part of your lifestyle—one that fits into your routine without feeling like an added burden.
