In this powerful second installment of our conversation with 40+ Fitness founder and personal transformation expert Allan Misner, we go far beyond traditional fitness advice. Allan returns to the ANEW Body Insight Podcast with Dr. Supatra Tovar to dive deep into the psychology behind behavior change, the barriers to lasting motivation, and the practical strategies that anyone over 40 (or any age!) can implement to reclaim their health.

This episode is a masterclass in mindset. Allan introduces his Five Fitness Personality Types—Pedals, Co-Pilot, Windshield, Tires, and Atlas—that help explain why we often stall out on our health goals and how to overcome those roadblocks with Clarity and confidence. Whether you're the person who hits the gas and brakes repeatedly (Pedals), the one always taking care of others before yourself (Co-Pilot), or someone haunted by a “former self” image (Windshield), Allan provides an actionable framework to break through.

You’ll learn how to:

• Redefine fitness goals with compassion and self-awareness
• Use tiny habits and positive reinforcement to build momentum
• Identify your fitness mindset and unlock your unique “superpower”
• Reduce friction around healthy habits (and add it where it counts!)
• Cultivate self-compassion as a motivational strategy, not a weakness
• Set goals that are not just SMART—but SMART-A (Actionable!)

Dr. Supatra and Allan discuss real-life client stories, including how one woman’s journey from getting winded walking to her car evolved into daily walks around the neighborhood, simply by stacking micro-wins and celebrating progress. From the emotional impact of food triggers to the importance of setting healthy boundaries, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped with tangible tools.

We also explore why community and accountability are the missing keys in most wellness journeys—and how building self-efficacy is less about willpower and more about designing your environment to support your future self.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of fitness starts and stops, or if you're looking to find a more compassionate, psychologically sound path to wellness, this episode will resonate deeply.
