The thought of aging is scary and concerning for most people. It's the villain of life, coming for all of us in the form of muscular degeneration, stiff and achey joints, fragile bones, heart disease, and a wheelchair in front of a TV.

But what if this way of aging was optional?

What if there was a way to preserve our strength, flexibility, and cardiac health well into our 90s, and even past age 100?

In this episode, we explore how to exercise for longevity.  Meaning, exercising in a way that allows us to not only survive, but to thrive; exercising in a way that not only allows us to live long, but to live long AND live well.

"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
~Dylan Thomas
