“Every single excuse you have is actually a reason why you need to be doing it.”
- Bronson Dant
At 38 years of age, Bronson Dant was just like most of us at that age - soft, flabby, overweight and heading for health problems in the second half of life. Unlike most of us, he decided to do something about it.
Today, at 50+, he has the physique of a professional athlete half his age. We caught up with him to learn how being fabulously fit past 50 can happen for anyone of us.
