‘I’m now thinking about posture, balance, and mobility. Youthfulness is in movement and poise.”

The Midlife Guide
MIDLIFERS FALL INTO two main groups: those deemed ‘young for their age’ (Meta-Agers), who embody positivity, growth, and engagement, and the ‘old for their age’, who tend towards pessimism and resistance to change.
Additionally, the ‘young for their age’ can be subdivided into three categories based on exercise habits:
- Consistent exercisers;
- Resumed after time-out;
- Those who have never exercised.
This classification highlights the potential for positive change among ‘Meta-Agers’ and underscores the diverse range of experiences and perspectives within the midlife demographic.
Meta-Age, Not Old Age
MIDLIFE IS A tipping point whereby the choices you make and the company you keep will determine how you age. Join Meta-Age, a community that uplifts, inspires, and supports you in achieving a healthier lifestyle. Positive influences can motivate you to strive for excellence, while negative influences hinder progress and drag you down. Surrounding ourselves with individuals who share our values, ambitions, and aspirations can foster growth, resilience, and well-being.
Choose Meta-Age: the alternative landscape to old age, to navigate midlife with purpose and embrace the journey of ageing with optimism and health.

Super6 Children’s Challenge
ON APRIL 23, 2024, the Meta-Age Super6 Challenge stood out as a unique and successful initiative, a testament to our commitment to promoting children’s fitness. The Super6 kids challenge was a great success, with over 30,000 children taught six doable exercises daily.
Theresa Fagan, Deputy Head of St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, said, ‘Play is powerful for children, and it’s the key to learning. The Super6 initiative enriches learning and develops critical skills such as discipline, expression, purpose, and teamwork.’
More Than the Name
MEMBERS BELIEVE in Meta-Age and what it represents because it has a meaningful impact that shapes their purpose and significance.
“META” originates from Greek, meaning “beyond,” suggesting transformative change. “META-AGE” transforms traditional views on ageing towards a healthier, longer life.

Some people opt for upward trajectories, striving for growth and success, while others may follow a downward path to ill health and failure.
Good health is black and white: a balanced diet, exercise, and sleep, or anxiety, poor health, and chronic old age.
