Tip #2: How do you deal with scepticism from family, friends, and colleagues?
The obesity levels for the senior population in the U.S. is now over 40 percent. If you are a former high school/college/post-college athlete who has been on the couch for the past 20-30+ years, this series of twice-monthly posts will show you how to resume an active lifestyle.
Fortunately, numerous studies have confirmed that it is never too late to resume an active lifestyle. I will show you how to reduce your fitness age, a more reliable indicator of longevity than your BMI, by 20+ years over the next 12-24 months. You will definitely be healthier, happier, and an inspiration for your family, friends, and colleagues. What’s better than that?

What have I learned?
Am I fine with this? Not really. The level of denial and self-delusion exhibited by my family/friends as they grow more obese and sickly is disheartening. But, I will continue to live an athlete’s lifestyle as long as I’m physically able. My ultimate goal is to win a national masters cycling championship at age 100.
Any questions?
