One area that I see athletic women over 40 consistently struggling with is the implementation of the high-quality information, techniques, and strategies they know would benefit them to include. Making change can be hard, and there is a mental and emotional challenge to adapting your training as you get older. However, with the right tools and mindset, the rewards of your training and longevity will amaze you. Key Takeaways If you want to effectively implement new training, nutrition, and recovery techniques as you age, you should:  Develop awareness about what beliefs may be limiting your training gains Work with a coach or program that helps you implement the changes you seek Create an identity-based model to adjust your behavior and make habit changes for good  Information Versus Implementation Information and the implementation of that information are two very different things. You could have high-quality information and tools to help you make a change in your training, but if you get stuck when implementing it into your routine, all that great information isn't serving you in the way it should.   You don't need to do more just for the sake of doing more. Training more efficiently, or getting the most bang for your buck when it comes to your training, is only possible by changing the way you are thinking and adapting your training routine to your changing physiology.

If you are having a hard time getting started or implementing changes, it could be because of the beliefs you are holding onto about how you train and see results.    Your beliefs affect your ability to follow through with implementing new habits that you know will be good for you. Your identity and belief system hold the key to adjusting how you can train more efficiently. Are you ready to implement effective training techniques as you age?
