I'm 52. Parents are 85 years old in good health who play bridge and golf (Dad is a great competitor who beats guys 15 years younger than he is), attend lectures on history and geography at their local university, have children and grandchildren who adore them, and lots of friends. I've been a fitness professional for ten years and I love to teach senior fitness. Why? Because everyone who comes to class is vital. (Do I get primadonnas? Yes. But they are ships that pass in the night.) We move, we box, we strength train with balls, tubes, and weights. The music's great. The energy is great. The humanity is great. The fitness is great. Getting older? It's fun. More interesting. Challenging. There's more oomph behind the eyes. That's my view, and I'm sticking to it.

And the fact that I am a trekkie and you mentioned my two fave Star Trek stars is NOT why I'm saying that. :) At least, not the only reason. Kudos to your sweet mom. That's my goal for all my life. Thanks for such a sweet read. Off to share this. What a great and encouraging article.

His outlook on life and the examples he gave are just a few of so many "spunkie" folks over 80+. The way we live our lives and our approach to the daily challenges is what keep most of us going. Live your life to the utmost as we only go around once ! Mr. Master’s has hit the nail on the head. His outlook on life and the

Maybe I'll keep running, just in case!

Thanks for bringing this study to our attention. BTW my father-in-law is 92 years old, still enjoys an occasional glass of wine and walks three times daily for 30 minutes a walk and he's so healthy that at the age of 90 he had a full knee replacement. Go figure - he's a living example of the benefits of exercise and an inspiration to us all. The study is scientific proof, but let's face it - we really do feel better when we've had a good workout! Thanks again.... Excellent! Thanks for bringing this study to our attention.

Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais coined the phrase, "Movement is Life, without it, Life is Unthinkable".

All these applications approach vitality in a self guided aspect to learning. Thanks David,
