Some of my heroes are way older than me and I am just 40. Heroes who are still active and pushing their minds and bodies to new heights.

Guys like Rich Roll and Mark Lewis.

This kind of life isn’t for everyone, no sir, but for the man who has hit middle age, is overweight, listless and out of shape, men like these are potentially life savers.

Fitness can give your life meaning and purpose; enduring long lonely workouts in the pain cave shows us who we are and what we are made of.

Beyond the hang-ups of your 30’s, waning sex drive, and cares about status, hair and looks, can emerge something more solid; something timeless and graspable.

Life's finite fragility and the will to tell it to go fuck itself.
