I was able to get back into a successful routine that has helped me rebuild my strength
After breaking their back and losing the strength to rock climb after 25 years, Vickie used 10x to rebuild their fitness and regain motivation. Now they're not only working out regularly again, but coaching other aging athletes through similar comebacks.
Before discovering Mindvalley and 10x, I had broken my back and was struggling to fully recover and come back as strong as before. I recovered enough to get back to day to day life, but had lost so much strength, I was no longer able to rock climb. This was hard for me physically, mentally, and emotionally because I've been a rock climber for over 25 years and that is what had been keeping me in shape. Once I could no longer climb, I was seeing my body change quickly. I had lost a lot of strength, balance, and endurance, this was challenging for an older, aging athlete. After completing the course, I was able to get back into a successful routine that has helped me rebuild my strength. I'm not only motivated to workout twice a week again, but I'm also learning to coach other aging athletes who need help getting back into the game.
