Fit in the Second Half of Life!

Living Fit in the Second Half of Life!

A Fit Second Half™ is on a mission to guide you, as an older adult over the age of 50, to recognize your POWER to “live fit in the second half of life!”  The truth is you still have half of your life ahead of you.  I challenge you to make these years your best lived!

Being 50+ is certainly not what it used to be.  Like never before, the notion that “age is only a number” actually rings true.  Many older adults are fully engaged in active lifestyles that include recreational and competitive sports, weight training, gardening, travel and grandkids.  Popular culture has colorfully declared that “40 is the new 30…50, the new 40” and my personal favorite, “60 is the new sexy!”  These declarations support the fact that Americans are living longer and desire to live stronger!

Nevertheless, many of us are aware that we plagued by an unprecedented rise in obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and other chronic illnesses.  More than one-third of all adults are obese in the United States.  Furthermore, statistics reveal that over 75% of the American adult population does not meet the recommended minimum standard of 30 minutes of low-to-moderate daily exercise.  Today, the fast pace of life can easily continue well into our later years.  The idea of taking thirty minutes out of the day for exercise can seem impossible.  Yet, what we fail to remember is that the level of health we experience is a direct reflection of the amount of effort we put into it.

A Fit Second Half™ is excited to be your exercise and wellness resource!  This entire site is expressly designed for older adults who desire to live a healthy and vibrant life.  Your special needs and concerns will be highlighted and you will find the best practices for healthy living throughout later life. As a fitness and wellness coach to hundreds of older adults, I am eager to share with you practical tools and expert advice in exercise, healthy eating, wellness and active aging.  Also, I am a skilled counselor and motivator.  I can help you to stay inspired and committed.  Be sure to check out SERVICES for more information on personal fitness training in my private studio, online/phone fitness training and coaching, and wellness coaching.  Also, I offer CONSULTING and PUBLIC SPEAKING services.

Being fit and healthy requires your attention and intention.

I fully understand that committing to a lifestyle of exercise and healthy eating is not easy.  I commend you on your willingness and desire to take control of your health and well-being.  IT IS NEVER TOO LATE.  Starting and maintaining an effective wellness program takes a fair amount of discipline, tenacity and know-how.  I hope to be a source of support and guidance for you.   In the pages of this weblog, you will find a wealth of information that you can begin to apply today.  I strive to offer the support you need to stay MOTIVATED and COMMITTED, be INSPIRED and INFORMED.  Lastly, I hope that you will be inspired to share your stories and winning advice.  Please reply to posts when you are so moved.  Chances are your invaluable experience will make a major difference in someone’s life.

Begin believing that your “second half” doesn’t have to be plagued by pain, chronic illness, injury, low energy and unwanted weight gain.  Choose to “exercise” your power to “be healthy, stay active and live long!”
