TABLE OF CONTENTS

You see, you don't get old from age, you get old from inactivity,

from not believing in something.

Jack LaLanne

Introduction

It was 2015 and I had finally retired. Although I was ecstatic in the beginning, the novelty of retirement was short-lived. I realized that not having anything to do was more exhausting than actually working, so I decided to become a freelancer. I started with basic data entry tasks and soon built a name for myself on sites like Upwork.com. I got a taste of what the kids these days are calling the laptop lifestyle. I worked the hours that I wanted, took on the clients that I chose, and was paid the price that I asked for. It felt empowering.

My new job meant that I was spending on average 6-8 hours a day sitting down working on my laptop. I didnt notice it at first, but I was developing certain tension around the nape of my neck and found it increasingly hard to sleep at night. Soon, my wife grew tired of constantly massaging me before bed and decided that I should unglue myself from the computer screen. Theres never any arguing with that woman. Also, she was kind of right.

I looked at the mirror and found a hunched 63-year old man with a protruding belly and a depressed look on his face. I had to change my routine. I decided I wouldnt leave my new online career, I found it to be too damn fun. Instead, I had to get active again. I had to exercise. I didnt want to spend the rest of my days looking like crap.

Just a month before this epiphany, I had driven to Rayleigh to visit my grandchildren. Tom, the youngest one, was already 3 years old. Last time I held him he was as bald as his grandpa. Now, he was sporting a full head of curly blonde hair. I approached to carry him as I used to do. As I bent my knees and held out my arms, the weight of his body took me aback. Finally, I carried him with some difficulty.

In hindsight, this is probably the reason I decided to become fit. I wanted to be able to carry my grandson, bring the groceries and do repair work around the house like I had always done. I didnt want to feel useless or like I was waiting around for my end to come.

If this story resonates with you, then I urge you to do the same. Staying in shape into your 60s isnt just for the looks or for reliving the glory days. Its for the feeling of certainty it will bring upon your life. Its for your grandchildren. Its for your loved ones.

Whatever your reason may be, its important that you get started. Start by establishing realistic goals in your journey to better health. What aspect of your health would you like to improve? Identify it and then create a plan and stick with it until you start seeing results. There are no quick-fixes or shortcuts to take.

Its been a few years since Ive started my fitness journey. Today, it doesnt feel like work anymore. Its part of who I am and what I do. Not only do I look at least 7 years younger (some say up to 10!), Ive also lost the belly fat and can easily carry both of my grandchildren (now age 5 and 7) around like its nothing!

I truly believe that low energy and fatigue are symptoms if inactivity, not of old age. Dont listen to the social narrative telling you what you can or cant do because of your age. As long as the doctors allow it, engage in exercise and grow your physique! Its never too late to start!

Where you stand

Age is just a number.

Recent health and fitness articles are full of statements like this. Is it true? Or is it part of the writers clickbait strategy to get you to read otherwise unimpressive material?

People who are 60 years old and over made up approximately 20% of the world population in 2012. By 2050, that number is expected to rise to 30%. Even though people are living longer, most arent necessarily living healthier. Ease of transportation, next-day delivery and online interconnectedness are cutting down on the need for physical effort the senior population once had. The calorie-abundant American diet isnt helping either.

Its no surprise that the average senior citizen lets him- or herself go and stops assuming responsibility for their health.

Exercise and diets? Thats for the kids to do, Im too old for that.

Running? I cant do that. Im not as young as I once was.

Lift weights? Get rid of this back pain first and Ill think about it.

Look younger? Thats impossible- must be a fad. Theyre probably trying to sell you something.

Smoking kills? Well, everyones got to die of something.

As unbelievable as it sounds, I hear the last one often during dinner conversations with friends. If any of the statements above sound like you, let me invite you to rethink your stance on senior fitness. There is abundant scientific evidence on the positive effects of exercising on senior health and wellness. These range from appearing younger and achieving longevity, to better mobility, improved brain function, and stronger relationships with others.

• Exercising boosts your energy levels. Youd think that working up a sweat would tire you out, but a steady workout routine actually recharges you with energy. Gradually, your energy levels will improve and even your daily tasks will seem like no problem.

• Increased blood flow helps you get better sleep. Its during sleep that the body repairs and renews itself and exercise improves sleep quality. You will feel at full energy the day after a nice workout.
• Exercise improves posture. As you work on your fitness, your posture will improve. A better posture strengthens your core and back muscles and gives you a considerable boost in height and confidence.

• Exercise also power ups your sex drive . Better blood circulation in the body leads to more frequent and lasting arousal.

• Exercising boosts your mood. Endorphins released after a workout keep you smiling throughout the day while keeping anxiety at bay.

So please, take the time to think about your current physical condition.

• How is your energy level in a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest)?
• Do you feel ready to tackle the day when you wake up?
• Is your posture empowering you? Or is it debilitating you?
• How is your sex drive?
• Are you moody all the time? Or are you cheerful and excited for the future?
