But he did. Again and again. Now, more than a decade later, Bob is in his mid‑60s, running 5Ks whenever he wants, lifting heavier than ever, and holding onto muscle that most people his age would love to have. In this episode, Bob and Kelly walk through how one Saturday class turned into a full routine, how a single Winter Challenge and a nutrition workshop with Amy Beyer changed everything, and how tracking his food daily (for nearly 10 years!) helps him enjoy travel, lobster rolls, and pizza without losing control of his goals. They talk about family history, longevity, MyZone, steps, and why the real magic isn’t in extremes—it’s in layers, community, and showing up when you’re not quite ready yet. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to start, this story will shut that down in the best possible way. -- Let’s connect!
