Not 40 but about to turn 37: I hired a personal trainer that I see twice a week with the goal of getting as strong as possible (not focusing on weight loss which I think is important).

The change in 6 months has been unbelievable. I have put on a ton of muscle, gained a ton of strength, my metabolic health is now PERFECT, and I have a ton of energy and vigor which is spilling over into the rest of my life.

Getting physically strong and fit is an incredible place to start when you're feeling directionless. And with a personal trainer all you have to do is show up for the session and do the work. If you can find someone who has a private studio that's even better (imo) because it takes away the whole gym culture aspect that can be intimidating.

Not to knock your fitness achievements (well done). But OP pretty clearly isn't in the earnings bracket to afford a personal trainer.

thanks, and you're probably right. But I do want to say for anyone looking on, personal trainers can be way cheaper than you'd expect, like half the price of a massage, I pay 50 bucks a session. Which again, isn't nothing, but in hindsight I would have payed way more for what I ended up getting out of it.
