I had a meeting with one of the Personal Trainers at my gym about what each of us was doing in the area of workshops. She recently started a new series of workshops that I was interested in and I was wondering if there was an opportunity to do some sort of joint venture program. She is at the gym with clients whenever I do my daily workout and commented about my doing the Five Tibetans every day. (more…)

Energy Bite 24. A Beach Body at Age 93? Yes Indeed!
by, Bob McMillan
I thought I was doing pretty well with my exercise program. You know, like “Wow! I’m seventy-three years old and look at what I can do.” Nothing spectacular but far better than most at my age. But that was before I heard of Charles Eugster. I first found out about Charles Eugster when I watched a TEDx Zurich video on You Tube. I try and watch one TED talk per day. If you’re not familiar with TED, go to www.TED.com and learn. The speaker, in this case, was an elderly gentleman who rowed racing shells (just like me), and lifted weights (just like me), and speaks out about work, exercise and nutrition for seniors (just like me). But Charles Eugster is not just like me. He is ninety-three years old and looks and acts like a thirty year old (at least he acts like one). He had let his body deteriorate as he aged and decided while he was in his eighties, that he had better start exercising again to get fit. He learned to wakeboard at age eighty-seven and he is now a competitive Masters athlete in rowing, and an avid weight lifter at ninety-three.
Watch Charles Eugster tell his own story and talk about health and fitness for seniors as he gives his TEDx Zurich talk here. (more…)
