from Wellness For Real at Any Age · host Heather Heynen, LPC-MH

If you’re a climber over 40, your training, recovery, and mindset need to evolve — or progress slows. In this episode of Next Send, I focus on three critical areas that make all the difference for midlife climbers:* Recovery: how to let your body actually adapt* Strength training: why it’s non-negotiable after 40* Identity & mindset: the stories we tell ourselves about agingI could have talked about a dozen other strategies, but these three create the foundation for climbing longevity and performance.🎯 Subscribe to Next Send for practical strategies on:* Everything Climbing over 40, 50, 60 & BeyondWebsite: https://www.heatherheynen.comFollow me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/heather.heynen?igsh=cGc5YTFidXM4Njlr&utm_source=qrFB: Heather HeynenLink to the NO-PREP, NO-COOK MEAL PLAN PDF https://heatherheynen.com/store Link to the HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH FIBER EATING GUIDE PDF https://heatherheynen.com/store Please support this show’s affiliates:David Protein Bars: Highest Protein, No Sugar, Lowest Calorie, Best Tasting protein bar out there! https://davidprotein.com/HEATHERPhysiVantage: The Best Whey Protein, Collagen & Morehttps://physivantage.com/?ref=HEATHERHEYNENEnter Discount Code HEATHERHEYNEN at checkoutThorne Supplements (High Quality Supps) Get 10% off with this link:https://www.thorne.com/u/PR12562435Strands: Affordable, easy food intolerance testing for humans and pets!  https://www.5strands.com/#HeatherHeynen.
