Every morning I'll send you something short, whether that's a thought I've had that day, a tip you can put into practice, a piece of research I found interesting, or something I've learned from years of seeing people at their worst in A&E.<br><br>Most take between thirty seconds and a couple of minutes to read, so it fits around a normal morning, certainly shorter than my videos anyway...<br><br>I've called it The Long Game because that's what all of this is. There are no shortcuts and no quick fixes in anything I teach. It's small things done consistently over many years, and that's what genuinely changes your health in the end.<br><br>It's free, and you can sign up here: <a href="https://www.dralexnewsletter.com/">https://www.dralexnewsletter.com</a><br><br>This is brand new, and so the first few emails may end up in your spam, as with all new email newsletters, but hopefully this will soon sort itself out....<br><br>Let me know what you think!<br><br>If you’d like to support me, the best thing you can do is click the like button and subscribe.

"Muscle is like your body's pension. The earlier you invest and the more consistently you top it up, the more health you can withdraw from it later."

70 yrs old, been working out with weights for nearly 50 yrs. Can still do 17 pull ups and 50 push ups at a time. I am in better shape than I was at 25. Really It is in your hands. Stop the excuses and get out and do it, consistently.

I retired at 66 and slowed down enough to discover how weak and tired I felt. Now I walk about 3 miles a day and do strength training 3 days a week. I feel great!

Watching my 64 year old parents get more fatty liver and diabetic warnings as they eat themselves to death. They have very sedentary life styles and eat in excess and for pleasure.<br><br>I have urged them to workout more, walk and do resistance training but it falls on deaf ears. <br><br>They have a ton of other medical problems and they are only 64! Please don't be lazy like them and fight for your life. Especially if you are retired there is no reason not to work out multiple times a week and walk daily
