By the time Jim King reached 50 years old, he already felt “old, overweight, and less than.” A former powerlifting champion, Jim stopped lifting around 40 years old but continued to eat as if he was training, which caused the weight to pile on.
In addition, Jim’s doctors were telling him that he needed to change his lifestyle and improve his health.
Jim’s wife and past IsaBody Challenge Honourable Mention Lori King introduced him to Isagenix products. Jim started taking the products, specifically the 30-Day System, and noticed a change in his weight and his energy. After losing a few pounds, his motivation and drive returned, and he knew he needed to continue with Isagenix.
“Isagenix helped sever the link between my age and my age value”
Next, he joined the IsaBody Challenge and immediately got to work. He viewed his first Challenge as a type of awakening, and with each Challenge afterward, he set specific goals.
With his most recent Challenge, Jim wanted to build lean muscle, so he increased his IsaPro Shakes and also included the Bedtime Belly Buster as part of his Isagenix nutrition.
He enhanced his workouts by including a lot of exercises such as pull-ups, pushups, and core work.
“This last Challenge, I decided it was time to bring it home,” he said.
Embark on a journey of wellness with our 30-Day Reset. A comprehensive plan designed for those seeking a total health overhaul.
And bring it home he did. Through over half a dozen Challenges, Jim King successfully lost 40 pounds and 10 inches in his waist, and at 65 years old, he is also becoming a great representative for healthy aging, recently joining Prime Time, the healthy aging movement launched last year. To maintain a positive mindset and stay on track with his fitness, Jim meditates for 15 minutes every morning, reads books by inspirational teachers from history such as Buddha and Gandhi, and sets goals regularly.
“Isagenix helped sever the link between my age and my age value,” Jim said. “I am no longer measured by a calendar, the number of rotations around the sun, or a number associated with some paradigm of a progressive state of decline.”
Today, Jim measures his worth by how he feels, his energy level, and his success with reaching his goals and athletic accomplishments.
Looking ahead, Jim will continue to train, ride his bike, and compete in cycling competitions. Jim and Lori run a training business, and he hopes to also build his Isagenix business by pursuing his passion to help people reach their full potential regarding health and athletics.
“It is said that you are as old as you feel,” Jim said. “I am a young kid running through a beautiful summer meadow, experiencing the freedom of newly discovered physical abundance.”
