Being Fit Over 40 | Conversations With the Browns

Mister Brown and his friend, Artis Landon, have a conversation about fitness and health when you’re over 40 

Today, I caught up with a friend of mine from my youth, Artis Landon. Fitness and nutrition were not always high priorities in our lives. Artis shares his experience of the consequences of poor health and the benefits of fitness, especially as we age.

Artis had a huge wake-up call in his 30’s that impacted how he looks at fitness and health. 

We started our conversation with some reminiscing about growing up together and the fitness and nutrition choices we made back then. Nowadays, our fitness and nutrition choices are geared toward better overall health and being able to be around for our families.   

Artis found many health benefits from running.
