Gregg Avedon has become a hero in the fight against time. Seriously, he’s 52. Beat the clock with his advice.
HE MIGHT BE A TIME TRAVELLER, OR the Highlander, because Gregg Avedon doesn’t look like he’s aged a day in the last two decades. The personal trainer and model lives in Weston, Florida – a state better known for its heavy roster of retirement homes and resorts than ageless fitness gurus – making his aspirational physique an act of protest against the status quo. When he turned 40 and noticed his metabolism slowing down, his T-levels dipping and his muscle growth stalling, Gregg didn’t trade the sixpack for a six-pack. Instead, he upped the ante and placed his trust in consistency.
1/ I’ve had my Damn, I’m getting old moment. Now what?
“When you feel Father Time is ticking away, don’t get discouraged. Just think about what you can do right now. My trick: consistency,” says Gregg. “Want to craft a great set of abs? You can still do it. Just maintain a clean, balanced diet.” Apply the same tried-and-tested consistency to your grooming, too, and you can slow down the ageing. Gregg’s routine: moisturise with a simple anti-ageing cream, wear sunscreen daily, get enough sleep (7 to 8 hours is the sweet spot) and stay hydrated.
