What if aging wasn’t about slowing down - but about pushing your limits, chasing bold goals, and tapping into more energy than you ever thought possible?

 

In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin sits down with endurance athlete, writer, and barefoot adventurer Ken Posner. From Wall Street cubicles to mountain trails, Ken has discovered that vitality doesn’t fade with age - it expands when you challenge yourself.

 

We dive into:

• How Ken went from “last kid picked in gym class” to running ultras and summiting mountains barefoot
• Why exhaustion from the office pales in comparison to the energy gained through movement and nature
• The role of fasting, simplicity, and minimalism in building strength and resilience after 50
• How barefoot training restores balance, agility, and natural alignment - critical for staying strong as we age
• Why pushing your body past “impossible” isn’t about punishment, but about empowerment

 

Ken’s story is a powerful reminder that the second half of life isn’t about decline - it’s about ignition. Whether you’re a weekend walker or dreaming of your first ultra, you’ll walk away inspired to stretch your own “rubber band” and reclaim the energy, confidence, and vitality that are your birthright.

 

👉 Don’t miss this inspiring conversation - it may just change the way you think about aging, fitness, and what’s possible after 50.
