"I've got people off blood pressure tablets. Just from coming to events." - Tim Howe, founder of the Longevity Games.
This episode of JPA Train Your Wealth is one of the most eye-opening we have recorded. Tim Howe joined Chris Homer and Chris Dawes to talk about the extraordinary link between physical fitness and financial freedom - and the numbers are genuinely startling.
Did you know that from age 40, your aerobic capacity starts declining by 10% every decade? Or that there is an actual VO2 threshold - called the independence line - below which you need physical help to get out of bed?
Tim founded the Longevity Games here in Swindon to give everyone - from complete beginners to experienced athletes - a place to start and a reason to keep going. No timechips. No judgement. Just your pace, not the race.
And Chris Homer draws the parallel beautifully: the same little-and-often approach that builds a pension also builds the physical reserves that keep you living independently. Start early. Keep going. The compound effect takes care of the rest.
