Injuries

You can play it safe and do what most people do: gain a pound or two each year and become less and less active over time.

Is this really safe, or is it dangerous? You’ve seen how the last decade of life plays out for most people: more and more time with doctors, more and more time in the hospital, more and more time in “treatments.” Most people die slowly, expensively, and miserably.

You have a choice. You can work to increase your healthspan - your healthy years - and push back the day when you succumb to the inevitable. We’re talking about ten to twenty years of increased quality of life. But you have to take risks, and you have to start now.

The biggest risk is injury. If you think about it, an injury like breaking a bone isn’t so bad. You’ll heal in 6-10 weeks and be back on your feet doing your favorite activities. But many injuries to tendons and joints can plague you for years. If you know anyone with tennis elbow or sore knees, you know it can go on and on and on. That’s why it makes sense to set aggressive fitness goals and meet them slowly, carefully, not getting injured in the first place.

That’s what I’m here for. Many people over 50 get tennis elbow, which is a repetitive-stress injury. Here’s what we know about it:

I want you to set outrageous, extreme, and impressive goals for yourself as you age, but reach them slowly, diligently, methodically, and safely. Amazing things happen when you just keep working away. The problem is when people see-saw back and forth between activity and injury - they never build a strong platform to grow on.
