## Resource

Fresh from his Men’s Health cover shoot, this week on Men’s Health: Built For Life, we sit down with Emmy-winning actor, director and playwright Colman Doming to talk confidence, ageing, movement and what it really means to take care of yourself. Colman opens up on the mindset shift that changed his relationship with fitness in his 50s – moving from chasing aesthetics to prioritising health, mobility, confidence and feeling good in his own skin. We get into intermittent fasting, losing 20lbs, reconnecting with movement, morning walks, building routines that actually last and why kindness, spirituality and time in nature matter just as much as training. Plus: why squats are his nemesis, the one movement he’d keep forever, the actor he’d most want to train with, and the simple daily habits helping him feel strong at 56. Want more from Men’s Health?
