Eightfold Fitness Client Story of the Month: Tom Higgins

Meet Tom Higgins

Tom was looking for something different in life. He had been into fitness and strength training for some time, but he wanted to make sure he was doing all he could to stay happy, strong, and healthy. He saw an advertisement for my Real Age Reduction class and decided to give it a try.

Five years later, he is at a very different level of fitness. Check out his workout highlights from a few weeks ago! It is amazing what he can do with his body. He is now 74 years old and running strong! (BTW: Tom loves push ups).

Suspended TRX push ups are not easy to pull off. What was once impossible is now a fun but tough exercise for Tom!

Another big area of change for Tom has been his nutrition. When I first met him he would have the typical high processed carb breakfast of orange juice, toast, bagels, and cereal. This kind of food puts people on the blood sugar roller coaster (and weight gain, diabetes, and more….) As Tom discovered, his body runs better with protein and fiber for breakfast.

Tom has always been a hard worker. After he gets warmed up and “in the game” he always gives it his best and pushes others to do they same. The “COVID years” have been tough for him and his family but this has not stopped him from taking care of his body. He trained online with the Real Age Reduction group for about a year when gyms were closed down. Tom got some gym equipment for is home and made the most of it. He is currently working on tryin to get his pre-COVID endurance back.

Tom and his wife Rita try to workout three times a week with the Real Age Reduction group on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They both try to stay in shape so they can enjoy travel, church functions, family, and more. Proud of you Tom! Keep up the good work.
