That was the second season of Scaled to Fit- Fit in Your Fifties. Thank you for joining our journey to making exercise enjoyable for a better and fitter self.

During the season, I emphasize scaling exercise to fit your life and capabilities, with a focus on joyful movement rather than “grinding through” -based fitness.

Some of the topics we cover:

• Walking & Movement Foundation
• Starting & Sustaining Fitness
• Specialized Training Methods
• Body Recomposition
• Bodyweight Training
• Balance Training
• Adventure & Community

I talk about how to make fitness accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for people in their 50s. I offer practical advice grounded in both science and personal experience.

And the main point, what I like to make: Don’t do nothing. Do something and scale it back.

This is Scale to Fit Fit in your 50s. Restarting exercising and feeling like a rookie at the

age of over 50. With Marko Lindgren. That was the second season of Scale to Fit Fit

in your 50s. Thank you for joining our journey to making exercise enjoyable for a better and

fitter self. During the season I emphasize scaling exercise to fit your life and capabilities with

a focus on joyful movement rather than grinding through a based fitness. I share my personal

transformation from being a sports hater to discovering the joy of physical activity. In a

topic of walking and movement foundation I cover the benefits of walking as a gateway to fitness,

including the science behind a runner's high. Essential gear selection from proper footwear to

moisture wicking, clothes and safety equipment and advanced walking techniques like rucking for

strength training. What comes to starting and sustaining fitness I discuss a practical advice

for restarting cardio routines after 50, emphasizing gradual progression and listening to your body and

importance of rest days and recovery strategies including sleep and natural anti-inflammatories.

And not forgetting building sustainable habits through consistency over intensity. I also talk

about specialized training methods for body recomposition, nutrition strategies for building

muscle while losing fat, bodyweight training, equipment free exercises that can be done anywhere,

focusing on functional movement and balance training which is essential exercises to prevent falls and

maintain stability as we grow up. And not to forget the fun part of adventure and community. We talk

about ultra walking, have some insights into long distance walking and pilgrimage routes like the

Camino de Santiago and gravel biking transitioning from walking to cycling for joint friendly cardio

with greater range. And have a CrossFit perspective, maintaining gym routines through community support

and realistic goal settings. The second season includes walk with me episodes featuring experienced

practitioners like ultra walker Jyrki Wahlstedt, longtime CrossFitter Yaohui Liu and CrossFit coach

Tobias Kundmüller sharing real world insights and inspiration. The promise of the season is to make

fitness accessible, enjoyable and sustainable for over the 50 crowd with practical advice backed by

both science and my personal experience. And not to forget the main point what I like to make,

don't do nothing, do something and scale it back. This was scale to fit, fit in your 50s with Marco
