Pushing 60 Aside

We can work on our personal fitness level at any age, but the approach must be within realistic bounds. We have to respect the limitations that come with aging and pursue activities that are safe and beneficial.

Odd title, but how do other people experience your adventures in fitness — especially those closest to you? Pictured: My friend, Debra, after a successful workout!

Sometimes I talk from the textbooks. Sometimes I talk from experience. This podcast topic was actually requested and it’s a topic with which I’m all too familiar!

Part one delves into pandemic issues, but Part two dives into how others react to our weightloss and fitness efforts in a hurtful way.

How much exercise is enough? How much is too much? How much is just right AND how do you know?

A little more discussion on the pandemic and more about insulin sensitivity.

2020 wasn’t a total loss, but it was difficult. Here’s some of the highlights that were special AND fun!

Nobody likes the stereotypes associated with advancing age, SO what can we do to ensure we don’t act, think, or look older than we are?

Here’s a 1 - 2 punch talking about how we’re passing time during the pandemic and a brief discussion on choosing supplements. I hope the quality is better than last podcast — thanks for all the feedback!

I’m planning — not for just this Thanksgiving — but for many Thanksgivings in the future.

The entirety of my life has helped prepare me for a pandemic...here’s how.

Unlike any previous podcast I’ve done, I focus on the election and why I’m pleased with the outcome.

With an opening story of how I almost ended up with a colostomy, I laugh and talk about a scary hospitalization from 11 years ago. It always hinges on the day before...it was what I ate the Day Before that made me deathly sick. It was a great lesson that I’ve applied over and over in creating good tomorrows.

We’ve always taken bedspace for granted...that if we got the flu, pneumonia, or any other serious illness, our local hospitals would have a bed for us (along with doctors and nurses) to help us get well. Then came corona virus!

Is what you’re doing really working? Is it sustainable? Are you doing what’s best for your mental and physical health? Let’s ponder these ideas together!

He was a friend from over 20 years ago who died at age 62. I’m 62!! I felt it necessary to tell Harold’s story — a true story about a friend’s battle with type II diabetes. I still wonder why the tide of his disease couldn’t be turned.

Our need for year round fitness is evermore important as the cold weather months arrive. Three easy indoor leg exercises are shared in this podcast. I guarantee you’ll never forget ‘nose over toes’ to help you stand up.

Realizing that obesity and disease was progressively robbing me of the ability to do ordinary things was scary. AND, the loss of my abilities strongly factored in the fight against disability.

Deciding to get off of social media (especially Facebook) requires serious thought and reflection. Here’s a brief overview of why and how I’m doing it.

Is social media healthy? For me, not so much! I’ve decided to withdraw from Facebook and other platforms, but Pushing 60 Aside is going to rock right along. Thank you for listening, but please subscribe as I’ll soon no longer publish new episodes on Facebook.
