Getting Fit After 50 – or at any time of your life – has many benefits. For those of us over 50, the benefits include improved weight management ability, reduction of age-related diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular, some cancers, Alzheimer’s and metabolic syndrome, stronger bones and muscles, and a higher quality of life with a better mood, less chance of falling, better recovery if you do fall, and improved chances of living longer.
OUR MISSION
To help people 50 and over live longer, healthier lives by providing science-based fitness, nutrition & weight management information.
Health is much more dependent on our habits and nutrition than on medicine.
