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...

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 #mentalh...

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 #mi...

Really! Are bad habits the behaviors that result in less than favorable results in our health? Why is breaking a bad habit so tough (especially where diet is concerned)?

Join us for a talk about oral health as we age with Kathleen (my wife), a Registered Dental Hygienist with 35 years of patient care under her lab coat! This interview may answer some questions you have about your teeth, dentures, X-rays, and dental care. I’m very appreciative of her for helping with the podcast as I venture into having guest interviews. #dentalhealth #seniorhealth #fitness #healthcare

What if you did things to keep your brain (metaphorically) running on all cylinders? What if you did things (tasks, skills, projects) that you’ve never tried before? What if you took a class?

Ahh…yes! That window of decision when we choose to be active in the pursuit of exercise…exercise that helps us stay ABLE to do life and to do it well. In this podcast I discuss this short window of decision making — AND, embracing the choices that we KNOW will help our physical, emotional, and mental health.

Let’s think about ways to stay committed to regular exercise that really work…exercise that’s doable, repeatable, and doesn’t leave you in a disabled heap of aches and pains. Exercise that is trackable and actually does your body good should be scheduled and done like clockwork. In truth, the first entry into any type of exercise that’s new to you should be done gradually to prevent excessive soreness and injury BECAUSE the ultimat...

No, I’m not talking about body fat (the proverbial junk in the trunk), I’m talking about reducing the clutter in our homes…you know, “STUFF” that we just don’t use or actually need — excess — duplicates — broken items — outdated things (Do I really need to keep all those DVDs and my iPhone 4 charger?). What if cleaning out drawers, cabinets, garages and workshops helps make our homes safer? What if getting rid of all the excess clu...

In this podcast, I share the assessment method I use as a SAIL (Stay Active & Independent for Life) Instructor. As you listen, imagine yourself taking these three assessments. Featured are: TUG (Timed 8’ Up & Go), Bicep Curls in 30 seconds, and Sit-to-Stands in 30 seconds. For bicep curls, 5# for women; 8# dumbbells for men. These three assessments give us a fair evaluation of a participant’s agility/balance, upper body strength, a...

This podcast was unplanned. Personally, I detest New Year’s Resolutions. So, let’s not create traps for lofty goals that generally end in failure. Let’s plan (instead) to take better care of ourselves in 2023 — to look at three things: Our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. (Oops! I called this year 2023 towards the end…mistakes happen, but you know what year we’re ending and which year is coming!)

Four years ago, Pushing 60 Aside was launched with a lot of emphasis on weightloss and weight management because of my own experiences in those areas. Gradually, my emphasis turned to exercise — including both strength training AND aerobics. As I age (now mid-60s), those things are STILL important, BUT health is the most important thing for me. The key is using what I know to stay strong in body and heart for the sake of overall he...
