Think it's too late to get into shape? Think again.
You can be fitter this year than you were 10 years ago.
Take it from someone who's faced 73 candles on his birthday cake.
By the time we're in our 50s, 60s, and 70s, most of us have lost a few steps, gained a few inches around our midsection, and found that we have to work hard to keep up with our kids and grandkids.
The proof of the passing of time comes in the form of jiggling bellies and double chins.
But the problem typically attributed to aging has less to do with age than the sedentary way we live.
Thanks to breakthroughs in health science and nutrition, evcen we 70-somethings have a chance to live stronger, longer, and leaner lives. We can become a sleeker and fitter version of our younger self.
All you need is a simple strategy to get you back into shape.
Whether you spend the next 20-30 years looking and feeling your best, or take a downhill slide, is now your choice.
Once you experience the satisfaction that exercise and eating right can bring to your body and mind, you will find plenty of reasons to keep at for the rest of your life.
We're all going to die with a long to-do list. "Start exercising" shouldn't be on that list.
