Being 65 and Membership in Generation Jones

Cheers to my fellow 1959ers! Whether we are ready to accept it or not, we are all turning 65 this year. It’s one of those really significant life markers, like turning 21. I remember being so eager to turn 21; naive me thought it would mean automatic freedom from parental rules and expectations and I would go from being an unhappy teenager to a happy-go-lucky adult . . . It didn’t turn out that way, but that was the other side of the moon.

Why We Should Exercise after 50

Maintaining strength, muscle mass and stamina by finding a way to exercise that is sustainable is especially necessary to stay healthy and vibrant after we turn 50. By the time we get to this age, we usually have a reasonably clear understanding of ourselves and what kind of physical activity we can commit to for a long time. It is a lot of work though, and requires discipline. In fact, about half of all Boomers make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight and become more fit, but more than half are unable to sustain the resolution for more than a year.
