And I think it really highlights that the best way to stay healthy for life is to be flexible. Times change, our options change, our bodies change… lots of excuses to give up and become sedentary. Those who adapt and keep challenging themselves are the ones who lead fit and active lives no matter what their age.

The whole MizFit family is an awesome inspiration.

An by “exercise” he walks the dog 2-3 times a day, and spends 30 minutes at home lifting light weights, doing push ups, sit ups, and some other exercises. Nothing strenuous, but enough to get his heart rate up a bit & work his muscles.

He’s done this as long as I can remember….all in the early morning before my mom wakes up.

And he DID join a gym for a few years, along w/my mom, in their retirement village. They both enjoyed it a lot….though my Mom would spend her time *talking* (she’s the social one) and my dad would spend his time on the eliptical & really breaking a sweat (with some chatting in between).

So whether it’s a gym, outside, or at home — he always finds a way to get in some daily exercise. And he’s in great shape

It’s important to stay active – physically, mentally and to keep a passion in there somewhere.
