They say that 50 is the new 30! They, whoever they are, say this because Baby Boomers exercise much more than their parents or grandparents ever did…Exercise? Ask any of my staff…They’ll tell you I hate to exercise. In my next life, I can only hope to be more like many of you who inspire me to get out of bed and drag myself to the Fitnessology desk each morning.
Finding fitness after 50 is different than stumbling on it in my twenties. Today, I am less concerned about losing inches, except in height. Strength no longer represents a means of defense for a fight – it means that if I fall and I won’t break as easily. Blood pumping to my brain isn’t about the endorphin rush – it’s about helping to prevent Alzheimer’s.
Thanks to all of you 50+ folks who are showing me that with age, comes new wisdom.
