Patsi and Rob, I am one who received a free SeniorFitness4Life book after your Open Circle talk. You did a great job speaking about senior fitness and motivating seniors to challenge themselves to exercise far more vigorously than we ever dreamed we needed to. You’ve got the perfect target population for the book right here […]
I have posted a number of blog posts surrounding the effects of the mitochondria have on aging cells. In this post I will attempt to clarify the why you should care about these cellular activities. Please forgive me for droning on this subject; however, Dr. Patsi and… Inside the nucleus of a cell, our genes […]

In Part 1 of this series of posts I stated “the process of aging is nothing more than the buildup of genetic and cellular errors and many of the environmental conditions that cause DNA dysfunctions can be avoided and even eliminated.” If all of these attacks from our environment weren’t enough, the food industry is […]
What can seniors do to avoid the causes of aging in our killer environment that contribute to cellular dysfunctions and premature aging? In part one of this series, I began it by stated “the process of aging is nothing more than the buildup of genetic and cellular errors and many of the environmental conditions that cause […]
Here’s our first fitness video testimonial from David Kotkin (and daughter Rachel). Notice how David cleverly slows his jump rope segment to mimic his heartbeat. Really cool stuff. Thank you David. Personally I think David’s Fitness in Action motivation for staying healthy carries more weight than just about anything else I can imagine. Most of […]

There are about 86 billion neurons in the human brain. They serve as the body’s wiring. Nerve signals […]
Few seniors meet the guidelines for protein in their daily menus. We love this recipe for a healthy protein smoothie because it is easy to make and packs a powerful punch with proteins. Currently the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 gram per kilogram (g/kg) of body weight a day for adult men […]
Extended sitting is really bad for your health. I’m not only talking about the sitting we do in front of the TV but the combined sitting we do while dining, reading newspapers, magazines and books, plus all the time we spend in front of our computers. The Mayo Clinic tells us, “The solution seems to […]
This post is a three-part series on aging cells and how our environment is a major cause of aging. Aging is nothing more than the buildup of genetic and cellular errors. The good news is your cells already have repair mechanisms in place. Many of the environmental conditions that cause DNA errors can be slowed […]
Senior fitness isn’t some vaguely defined ideal. It can save your life. To better understand what it means, we present real life stories of seniors who aren’t just surviving the aging challenges, but who are thriving. Our hope is that you will be inspired to find your own program for senior fitness. Here’s a book […]
You can avoid surgery by doing squats, using body-weight exercise to strengthen knees. After more years than I would like to admit, my knees suffer from osteoarthritis, when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears down over time. Trust me; I am not alone with this niggling, often painful malady. There are […]
Of course one full-proof method of weight loss is to stop eating crap. But being slim is not proof of optimal health and carrying excess weight around raises your likelihood of disease. As we preach in our book, movement is a crucial part of long-term health and certainly in calorie burning. Physical movement obviously requires more […]
