I enjoy a challenge of any kind and over the years I have engage in many such challenges in both sport and other activities. I returned to school in my thirties and graduated with a degree in Education from the University of Alberta. I developed knee problems. I consulted with a Sports Medicine Doctor, and he diagnosed arthritis and he suggested I get back into weight training, the best thing that that I have ever done. I was able to strengthen the connective tissue around the knee joints, and maintain muscle tone, this sustained me for about fifteen years. Eventually I had both knees replaced.
I had reach a plateau with my fitness training, and at that time, December, 2008, I decided to take a different approach. I was advised to check out Vince’s web site, I found it very interesting due to the fact that it was largely based on his own experiences and theory backed by an Honours degree in Kinesiology
You take personal responsible for your own progress, continuously challenging the body. I have always felt that you should put ‘can’t’ on one side, because I have always been of the opinion that if another person do it so can I.
I have been guided by the words of Joseph Murphy:- “By day and by night I am being prospered in all my interests.”1 I like the analogy of the wheel, the spokes representing all your interests and the hub a fit physical body, without which you would not able be to operate at optimum level.
My chronological age is 79 and my biological age is somewhat lower I would urge all those that have reach retirement that now is the time for you to pay more attention to fitness. Sooner would be much better. I personally feel that I have an obligation to keep fit and that medicine should change its emphasis from traditional methods to a balance with that of prevention and fitness.
I am ready now to move forward into the next phase of the program.
