Thanks for checking out my blog…I’m glad that you are interested in improving your health by following along with my fitness journey over the next 50 days! Since the theme for National Physical Therapy Month in 2012 is “Fit after 50”, I thought it would be appropriate for me to join in. After all, I am a physical therapist who has recently started the downhill slide toward the “century mark” (yikes!).
It is my
hope and prayer that as this journey takes place from October 1st to November
19th, we would be able to share some ideas and tips to improve
overall health and fitness. Please note that the goal of this program (for me
personally) is not all about weight loss (although it certainly won’t hurt me
to drop a few pounds!). After age 50, I am more concerned about maintaining a
lean, healthy body that is faster, stronger and more agile.
I will be
sharing some pre-program test results on my next blog post, and will follow-up
with the same tests at the end of the program. These will include:
-
Timed 1 mile run
-
Maximum # of push-ups
-
Maximum # of pull-ups
-
Sit and reach flexibility test
-
Body Weight
-
Body Mass Index (BMI)
-
Waist circumference
-

So, are you ready to get started??
Keep striving to stay
fit…
