Although I loved sports in my youth, I didn't exercise for more than 20 years. I felt miserable, fat, had low energy and started having various health issues. A relationship of 25 years broke apart.
48 was my turning point. I started eating differently, started doing pull ups and invested some money on a personal tennis trainer.
One of the best decisions in my life.
Now I'm 50 and relatively fit again. Life is good and I'm having fun again. I just wish I would have gotten off my lower back a lot sooner.
That's cool! I like running even though not the best sport for me.
Is tennis still your main/only exercise? How old do you feel like you can play? I'm a bit younger than you but always fall on this fallacy of having to find a "long term sport"...
Congratulations! Having tried a personal trainer who I ended up disliking, I’m curious: what do you look for when trying to find a good match?
Look for a trainer who looks like how you want to look in 5 years.
But seriously, most gyms allow you to book single sessions with various individual trainers. Try a few and see if you're compatible with one. It's such an individual thing that no else can tell you exactly what to look for.
