BCFit’26: The Movement Movement is coming and this year’s theme says it all.

The Movement Movement is the momentum all of us in BC’s fitness community are building together, and I’d love to see you there.

My session, FUNtastic Active Aging: Strong Bodies, Sharper Minds and Serious Fun, comes down to something I’ve learned over decades of working with older adults. They move best when they’re having fun.

It’s a hands-on, highly interactive workshop. Using the latest in active aging research, I’ll show you how to build exercises, brain-body challenges, partner activities and games for older-adult classes and personal training sessions, with little to no equipment.

📅 Sunday, September 27, 2026
📍 təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre, New Westminster, BC
🎟 Register by September 3 for the best early bird rates

Your brain is not done growing at 50
For years we assumed memory loss was just part of getting older. The research says otherwise.

In a landmark study, sedentary adults aged 55 to 80 started walking three days a week. After one year, the aerobic group grew the size of their hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, by about 2 percent. That’s like turning back one to two years of age-related brain shrinkage.

And here’s the part people get wrong. They weren’t doing punishing, all-out workouts. It was around 40 minutes of moderate walking. You should be breathing harder but still able to talk.

Movement sends your brain a signal to adapt. Consistency is what delivers it.

The full breakdown, including how it works and how much you actually need, is on our blog. Link in bio.

Catching every cold going around? Your training might be the reason 🤧

Push harder than your body can recover from and you don’t get more bulletproof. You get more run down. Overtraining quietly wears down your immune system, and suddenly every bug in the room finds you.

It’s not bad luck. It’s your body asking for recovery. Sleep and real rest are what keep your immune system strong, not another back-to-back session💪

The fix isn’t training less because you’re weak. It’s recovering enough to actually get stronger🧠

You are training hard, eating clean, and that belly fat still will not budge. What if the problem is not that you are doing too little?

Here is the part almost no one talks about. Every hard workout is a stress on your body. That is the point. Stress is the signal to adapt and get stronger. But your body cannot tell the difference between a brutal training session, a bad night of sleep, work pressure, and everyday stress. It all lands on the same pile.

When that pile never comes down, cortisol stays elevated. Recovery slows, cravings climb, sleep gets worse, and your body starts holding onto fat right around the middle instead of letting it go.

That is why grinding harder can backfire. More sessions and more intensity with no recovery is not training for results anymore. It is just more stress.

The fix is not to train like a maniac. It is to train with purpose. Push hard, then actually recover. Sleep. Fuel your body instead of starving it. Take rest days without guilt.

A body under constant stress does not get leaner or stronger. It just holds on.

More protein does not mean more muscle. Sorry to whoever has three shakes a day. 🥤

Protein is the building material. But it is training that sends the signal to build. No progressive overload, no growth, no matter how many scoops you stack on top.

Here is what actually builds muscle:
→ A challenging training stimulus
→ Progressive overload over time
→ Enough protein and total energy
→ Real recovery between sessions
→ Consistency

And once your daily protein needs are met, pouring more on top will not hand you unlimited gains. More is not always better.

The practical target for most active adults: 25 to 40 g of protein after training, 1.4 to 2.0 g per kg across the day, spread over 3 to 5 meals. After 40, aim for the upper end. Anabolic resistance is real, so aging muscle needs a stronger signal, not just a bigger shake.

Women’s Bodies Are Different—Training Should Be Too💛

Female physiology changes how the body trains, fuels and recovers, and ignoring that quietly costs results.

Your menstrual cycle is one of the most useful health signals you have. Your injury risk shifts after puberty. And in menopause, exercise becomes more important, not less. Each one changes how a woman should train.

The answer is never watered down fitness. It’s fitness built on your own physiology.
