Let’s face it none of us like getting older. The longer we can stay young, beautiful, strong, and wrinkle free the better. I know that 50 is very young. It is the new 30. The closer I get to it the more I believe that.
The cosmetic industry keeps us looking younger and medical advancements keep us living longer. What about our weight, joints, and mobility? How do they change as we age? What anti-aging strategies are available for keeping us mobile and vibrant in 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and beyond?
If you are anywhere close to age 50 or beyond you will want to check out this interview with Dr. Dan Ritchie. Dr. Ritchie is the owner of Miracles Fitness in West Lafayette, Indiana where he specializes in training adults age 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond. He is also the co-founder of The Functional Aging Institute which is a program that trains fitness trainers to work with clients age 50 and older.
In part 1 of our interview, Dr. Ritchie tells us the 3 mistakes we are making after age 50 when it comes to fitness.
Dr. Dan Ritchie has created a “Never Grow Old” Fitness Program complete with follow-along workout videos. If you are not exercising and need a place to start go to the link below and grab it.

Don’t forget to share this post with your friends and family that are age 50 and beyond.
Until Next Time!
Allie, I found this interview to be VERY helpful and inspiring – he touched on so many of my “issues”. I watched it at a time when I was feeling discouraged about my arthritis and bone issues; I feel even more committed to continuing to work out to not just prevent more loss, but also to improve my strength and agility. Thanks and look forward to Part 2 .
Yay Karen! It can be easy to get discouraged. You are doing the right things for your body. I am glad you got confirmation to continue working to keep your body strong and agile. If we don’t use our bones and muscles and range of motion we will lose those. Thanks for your feedback!
