Grand Finale

This is the final episode of the Pushing 60 Aside podcast. All 5 years of the podcast will continue to be available on Spotify, Apple, and other platforms.

Join me for a 30-minute brisk walk!! Let’s think about staying physically fit for the next 5 to 10 years!

In truth, I have to push myself. I don’t always feel GREAT…not that I feel bad, but perhaps my motivation is a bit low. So, in middle age, I have to navigate through my own limitations, aches, and pains. I have to be realistic in choosing what I eat, how I exercise, and how I medicate or treat injuries and inflammation.

These days, you hear the term “best practices” quite a bit! This applies to how those of us merging into our senior years should examine exercise, diet, mental heath, and taking risks. Everyone wants a fighting chance at having GREAT senior years — fewer injuries, fewer illnesses, MORE bucket list activities, and simply FEELING like doing THINGS! Fortunately, you’re in the driver’s seat for most of this. What are you actively doing to give YOURSELF a fighting chance at great senior years? #seniorfitness #seniorcitizens #livingwell #eatinghealthy #seniorfun #AARP #seniors #exercise #lifestyle #mobility

What does it take to live to a ripe old age? Are there simple truths that can make a difference in longevity? YOU BETCHA! Let’s talk about some of those truths!#seniorliving #oldage #seniorfitness #AARP #aging

How well are you taking care of yourself on a daily basis? If you had to give yourself an honest assessment, would you get passing grades in areas like nutrition, sleep, productivity, recreation, physical activity, and following your doctor’s recommendations? Maybe this podcast will help you think through these areas! #seniorfitness #seniorliving #aarp #aging #healthylifestyle

Even everyday life can be overwhelming in middle age! I’ve had to master a skill set of acknowledging when I’ve reached my limits in several areas — mentally, physically, and emotionally. I’ve had to address my priorities: Am I too busy, too obligated, too stretched? If so, how do I preserve myself? My sanity? My body? My health? How do I preserve the prospect of awesome years as I age? #seniorliving #Health #seniorfitness #mentalhealth #overwhelmed

Ever felt like you had too much stuff? Are your closets overflowing? Can you actually get your car in the garage? Do you spend a lot of time searching for things? Are you leaving a nightmarish estate for your family to sort through? THEN, this is a good listen for you. #decluttering #seniorhealth #seniorliving #retirement

If not now, when? At what point do you realize you’d better do something more…something better…something different—that is, if you really want to have great senior years ahead of you? If I could rewind the clock, I would have started taking better care of myself when I was in my 40s, but no…I was too busy. Fortunately, I turned things around and got back to a place of health. #seniorhealth #exercise #fitness #seniorlife #health #middleage #arthritis

Here’s a brief conversation with my friend (Tim Colvard) just two days before his 95th birthday.
