Pursue Your Spark - Midlife, Fitness, Nutrition, Mindset, Health, women over 50

Ever feel like you’re caught in that cycle of wanting to make a change, but somehow, it never quite sticks? Maybe you’re searching for that spark—that extra push to finally put yourself first and see actual results. But what if it’s not about wanting at all but actually committing?

Today, we’re diving into this big shift with Allan Misner, a fitness and nutrition coach for people over 40 who has been right where you are. He knows what it takes to turn the desire for change into real, lasting action. Together, we’ll explore his story, the lessons he’s picked up along the way, and some surprising truths about motivation that might flip your whole approach on its head.

In this episode, I sit down with Coach Allan Misner. Allan is a NASM-certified personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition Level II Master Health Coach, and FAI-certified Functional Aging Specialist. He’s also the host of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, the go-to show for health over 40, and the author of The Wellness Roadmap, a straightforward guide to staying fit after 40.

Allan shares his journey of getting back into shape to stay active in his daughter’s life. This decision led to a big commitment to his health. Over eight months, he lost 66 pounds of fat, gained 11 pounds of muscle, and took on a Tough Mudder race!

We dive into how he finds the right mindset to stay committed, using ideas like the “Atlas” and “Pedals” mindsets to help clients stay focused without burnout.

Allan also shares his thoughts on staying independent and capable as we age. He believes in building small, consistent habits that align with our values, making fitness something we actually want to stick with. His story is a great reminder real progress comes from knowing yourself and committing to your goals.
