Inspirational Gallery - A Photo and Video Gallery of Seniors in Great Shape and Living Very Well Senior Fitness is all about 'squaring out the curve'. Instead of a linear slide into infirmity in our seventies starting at about 30 years of age, we focus on practical strategies that can literally keep you in top shape into your eighties and beyond. These strategies implement the principles of: Anti-aging - Slowing the processes involved in aging, and delaying their consequences Exercise - The primary driver for reversing age-related functional decline Nutrition - the Raw Material for Senior Health and Lifetime Fitness Rest, Recovery and Relaxation - Time for the body to repair and strengthen itself Supplements - To make up for the functional losses due to aging Thinking and Attitude - Changing behavior patterns to optimize health and fitness There are Seniors in every walk of life that are running marathons, climbing mountains, driving dragsters, even cage fighting and martial arts, while the majority are bound to wheelchairs and walkers at the same age. These are the examples we want to hold up for inspiration, and to get their stories on display for others to learn from. If you think you are in great shape for your age and live an active fitness lifestyle, we want you to tell the world how you got there and how you keep it together. We may add a submission form to this category, but for now just send us an email telling us: Who you are? (eg: name, location, education/training) How you spend your time in work and play? How you stay in shape, any health barriers you've overcome, wisdom to pass on for staying fit, etc. Links to picture or videos loaded to UTube or other linkable sources. We will enter the data for the near future, grab the photos or videos from UTube and create a Personal Page for you in this section of the site. This is your chance to howl about overcoming the odds and brag about living intensely.
