Transformation After 50

Three highlights of the two-month experiement.

* The progression works well until the muscle-related limitations are met. Then it gets harder. This is noticeable in hiking as thru hikers going 2,000 or more miles start off with ten mile days and finish with 30 mile days. The Aha is that with walking, you don’t really hit a muscle strength limit, the limit is endurance and this grows along with the neurotransmitter production.

* The connection between homeostasis and allostasis was major breakthrough since it comes into play in both physical and cognitive activities.

* My initial intention was to improve get started sprinting again after a multi-year layoff. One of the issues at my age - 70 - is the potential for injury so I was a little concerned and that is what got me started on the footwork drills, which led to understanding neurotransmitter production and more. My goal was to get back to my sprinting pace of 75 yards from five years ago. Using the neurostransmitter production breakthroughs. The limitations of muscles are not overcome so I needed more time to develop the involved muscles. I also realized I was 15 pounds heavier than when I ran five years so I decided to focus on losing the excess weight. In addition, I switched to wearing a weighted vest to build up my muscles and slow me down since the injuries tended to be high-speed and acceleration at speed related. So far, I am running with an 8-pound vest and I have beaten my time from five years ago. I have four more pounds to lose. Moving forward, I will use cycling weighted and unweighted sprints and other footwork drills weighted and unweighted.

You can find multiple live updates, including demonstrations at nearby parks on my Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/transformationafterfifty. Later, I will create these into a highlight reel with a more formal update.

Feel free to post questions.

Two great examples of drills you can easily do. In this demonstration, I set the cones on a basketball court for time results.

Using the court enables a consistent setup and allows people all over the world to use the same setup and compare times with others in the group.

I also cover the 7 Fitness Areas Framework as a comprehensive roadmap to guide your transformation.

Many of these events are recorded live on the Facebook Page - Life Expansion After 50. There is also a Group which is already available but not active yet.

Welcome to the second installment of my Saturday Live Broadcast series, where I’m tracking my progress using footwork drills to boost neurotransmitter production.

In this experiment, footwork drills serve as a placeholder for deep practice—a deliberate, focused method of engaging the nervous system. My goal is to explore the link between these drills and the body’s ability to generate excess neurotransmitters.

Why does that matter?

Because there’s growing evidence that activities which stimulate neurotransmitter production are also connected to broader health benefits: increased testosterone, improved mitochondrial function, higher levels of BDNF and AMPK, reduced inflammation, and possibly even elevated NAD+ levels.

As a bonus, footwork drills get the lymphatic system moving. Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a built-in pump, movement is essential to circulate lymph and help maintain clean, healthy blood.

It’s widely accepted that regular sprinting offers powerful health benefits—especially as we age. Among the most compelling effects are improvements in:

* Mitochondrial function

* Neurotransmitter production (including dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, and acetylcholine)

* Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) – which supports neuroplasticity and the growth, function, and maintenance of neurons

* AMPK activation – improving metabolic health, glucose uptake, and insulin sensitivity

* Reduced systemic inflammation

* NAD+ production – critical for cellular repair and energy metabolism

* Telomere length – a marker often associated with biological aging

There’s active research underway exploring these benefits. And while our brains are the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, our understanding of neurons, neural pathways, myelin, and neuroplasticity is still relatively new. But here’s the good news—you don’t need to wait for every paper to come in. You can test it for yourself.

My focus is on those of us over fifty who want to make the second half of adult life the best half. What I’ve found through sprinting and neuromotor footwork drills feels like the closest thing to anti-aging I’ve ever experienced.

I encourage you to dive deeper—research the benefits of sprinting, investigate how the items above affect performance, cognition, and vitality, and begin to form your own conclusions.

Join me live a few times each month, where I share real-time updates and demonstrations of the footwork drills I’m actively experimenting with.
