At our last walk, inspired by a book entitled Tough Broad by Caroline Paul, we talked about the benefits of participating in outdoor adventure as we age. Think parasailing, rock climbing, cycling, scuba diving. But also think bird watching, a nature scavenger hunt, learning something —anything— new. Studies are clear: our ATTITUDE about aging sets the course for how we age. If you think of aging as a time of stagnation, illness, and frailty, your body will follow suit. Conversely, if we approach aging as a stage in our lives of opportunity, positive challenge, and adventure, our bodies — and our souls— will respond gratefully, adding as much as seven years to our lives! Let us pinky-swear that we will refrain from using the phrase, “I’m too old to…[fill in the blank ].” Seek out an adventure that is suitable to your current state of health, and simply GO DO IT! You can do it!! 👊🏼💥
We walk the 3rd Saturday of every month at Union Canal Tunnel Park at 10am. See you on August 16th!
