This week, Michael Dermansky sits down with Jackie Kenny, a 66-year-old triathlete and martial artist, to explore how staying active, strong, and purposeful can transform the way we age.
Jackie reflects on her rich athletic journey—from her first triathlon in 1984 to her dedication to karate—and the challenges she’s overcome with injury and recovery. A key part of her comeback was training at MD Health, where a personalised program helped her rebuild strength, improve mobility, and return to doing what she loves.
Together, they discuss how the right mindset, structured strength training, and recovery practices can support longevity in sport and life. Jackie’s story is a testament to the idea that it’s never too late to start—and that quality movement, connection, and joy should guide every stage of training.
Tune in to be inspired by Jackie’s journey, her practical insights on aging well, and how living with purpose can shape a confident, active life at any age.
