I created this site to encourage older people to follow this journey, but far more than following, to join in the race.
We'll have some fun competitions here, but the real race is against yourself, and the price; health aging, is priceless.
I’m been working out since I was 12, and I’m now 65, so I like to think I’ve laid a good base of fitness.
While the world tends to focus on fitness for the young, its really as you age that it becomes most important; literally an issue of life and death, of having enjoyable, productive, meaningful older years; or not.
