Healthier at 61 Than at 57 with Ross Pettit
From The Big Day Fitness Show · 00:30:30
Show by Bobby Gasdia
When Ross Pettit joined Big Day Fitness in Norwell, he figured he'd last three months, six at most. He gets bored easily, he doesn't like repetition, and he'd always been all-or-nothing. That was three years and 14 days ago.Ross talks with Bobby and Maria about why he stuck with it this time. He never did more than two sessions a week, and he cancelled plenty of them. He started a GLP-1 knowing it would take muscle with it, so he paired it with strength training from day one. He's 61 now, and he says he's healthier than he was at 57.Chapters(0:00) Intro(0:28) Meet Ross(1:36) Why he stayed(2:38) Booking keeps him accountable(4:10) The gym around the corner(5:20) Working out in Istanbul(6:14) Life 70 pounds lighter(8:07) Two days a week, three years(8:56) Bulgarian split squats at home(10:20) Imperfect beats all-or-nothing(11:48) Not fixed in 30 minutes(12:44) Labs in the green(13:20) Back to refereeing soccer(16:18) Healthier at 61 than at 57(16:45) Moderation, not extremes(17:46) GLP-1s and strength training(18:42) Small changes that add up(20:27) The real barrier(23:03) From the UK to Norwell(24:26) We struggle with it too(25:19) Advice to his younger self(26:27) Stop worrying what others think(26:53) When life gets in the way(27:46) Getting himself out the door(28:36) Gym friends and coaches(29:33) How to reach usWant to train with us?
