Pushing Beyond Your Physical Limits in Midlife
Guest Expert Darla Andrews
Me Time Midlife Podcast
Darla Andrews developed a passion for fitness at the age of 19 and began teaching group fitness classes at a small gym in San Diego. At 22 years old, she had her first daughter and by the age of 40 she had her fifth daughter.
By age 40 she had let taking care of herself go by the wayside. She was overweight, tired and not happy with how she looked or felt. She got herself back into shape, found her passion for fitness again and transformed both her body and her life.
Her journey back to getting herself in shape, led her to realize that there are no limits to what can be done when you push beyond what you think you can do. At age 49, she competed in her first figure competition and became an NPC National Masters Figure Champion and at age 51, earned her Pro Card in the INBA and placed second in the 2015 Natural Olympia.
