Turning 55 and in the Best Shape of My Life: How to Stay Strong, Lean, and Energised

Turning 55 and in the Best Shape of My Life: How to Stay Strong, Lean, and Energised
Aging is often associated with slowing down, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right training, nutrition, and lifestyle choices, you can feel stronger, fitter, and more energised than ever—even as you approach or pass 55. Whether you're just getting started or looking to optimise your current routine, prioritizing resistance training, daily movement, proper nutrition, and targeted supplements can make all the difference.

At Jason Isaacs Personal Training in Brighton and Hove, I work with clients of all ages to help them achieve peak fitness, proving that midlife can be a time of strength and vitality. Here’s how you can do the same.

1. Resistance Training 4x a Week for Strength and Longevity

One of the biggest keys to staying strong and lean is resistance training at least four times a week. Strength training helps preserve muscle mass, boost metabolism, and keep bones strong—all essential as we age. By incorporating compound movements like squats, deadlifts, presses, and pulls, you engage multiple muscle groups, maximize efficiency, and build functional strength that translates into everyday life.

Whether you train at the gym, outdoors, or at home, resistance training is a non-negotiable part of staying fit for life. As a personal trainer in Brighton and Hove, I can guide you through a structured program tailored to your goals.

2. Dialing in Nutrition for Optimal Health

Training is just one piece of the puzzle—nutrition plays a massive role in achieving and maintaining peak fitness. A balanced diet with high-quality protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense carbohydrates fuels workouts, supports recovery, and keeps energy levels high.

Some key nutrition strategies include:
✅ Prioritising lean protein sources 
✅ Including healthy fats 
✅ Choosing complex carbs 
✅ Staying hydrated 

If you're looking for personalised nutrition coaching in Brighton and Hove, I can help design a plan that fits your lifestyle and fitness goals.

3. Staying Active with 7-10,000+ Steps Per Day

Beyond structured workouts, daily movement is crucial. Getting at least 7,000 steps per day keeps your metabolism active, improves cardiovascular health, and helps prevent stiffness and joint issues. Whether it's walking, cycling, or even taking the stairs more often, staying active outside the gym is key to long-term health.

4. The Right Supplements: Gut Health & Creatine

While whole foods should always be the priority, the right supplements can enhance results. Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements for maintaining muscle mass, improving strength, and boosting recovery. Gut health supplements, such as probiotics and digestive enzymes, support proper nutrient absorption, ensuring your body gets the most from your diet.

Final Thoughts: Stronger, Fitter, and Healthier at Any Age

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing strength or energy. With a combination of resistance training, daily movement, proper nutrition, and strategic supplementation, anyone can feel their best at 55 and beyond. If you’re in Brighton and Hove and looking for expert guidance, Jason Isaacs Personal Training offers personalized coaching to help you reach your goals.

Let’s redefine aging together—one workout at a time!
