How We Stay Fit Together After 40

Four ways we keep moving forward, motivated, and stronger than ever.

Pickleball

Our favorite way to mix fun and fitness. Doubles matches keep us moving, laughing, and building teamwork on and off the court.

Cycling

Chanh’s go-to for endurance, discipline, and solo headspace. Whether it’s long rides or weekend races, cycling keeps him grounded, focused, and always chasing the next climb.
