Fit For My Age

By: Michael Millward
  • Summary

  • This is how Fit For My Age started. I was, and still am a middle-aged man who seemed to have all of the bad things that can happen to a man of my age, happen to me in a very short space of time. Or at least it felt like it!

    I am sure that I am not alone in having a wake-up call type of experience. If we are lucky it happens to every man and every woman. I decided to heed the call and improve my lifestyle.

    Fit For My Age is a record of my attempts to learn the things that I wish I had known earlier in life. The sort of things that may have helped me avoid or better manage the ageing process. So, I might sound as if I am saying, I wish I’d known then what I know now!

    Mine will not be the only voice that you hear. I will be talking to a wide range of experts and may even be able to persuade some of the personal trainers that I have worked with to join me every so often.

    What I do hope is that by sharing the knowledge I gain and the experiences that I have had you will also discover ways in which you can improve your physical health and your mental wellbeing.

    You never know, a little knowledge may mean that we can, regardless of our age, all be able to say that we are Fit For My Age!

    Please contact me with any questions, feedback, or content suggestions via the FitForMyAge.com website.

    Thank you.

  • Harmonic Muscle Release Massage Technique - a conversation with creator Paul Bailey
    Jan 22 2025

    Paul Bailey is a Berkshire based massage therapist with over 15 years of expertise.

    He is also the creator of the Harmonic Muscle Release massage technique which he designed to provide intense relief without the discomfort often associated with deep tissue massage. This method blends deep pressure with slow, rhythmic strokes that are carefully timed to match your breathing and the soothing rhythms of background music. The result is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

    We should never under estimate the value role that therapeutic massage can play in maintaining physical and mental health. Physical aches and pains can be soothed in a way that is also extremely relaxing.

    In this episode of Fit For My Age Paul explains how and why the Harmonic Muscle Release massage technique that he has created works.

    The during lockdown with lots of free time on his hands he examined his relationship with booze and the journey to sobriety started.

    Now Paul is a qualified positive psychology coach with an alcohol-free specialisation. He helps other 'middle-lane drinkers' do what he did; better understand their relationship with alcohol and works with them to achieve their goals while they take a break from the booze.
