It's your chance to re-invent yourself and start living life on your own terms. Become an interesting character whose life story reads like an adventure novel. Break out of those tired, worn-out social conventions that confine adults to a passive, isolated existence; sitting on the sofa waiting for the phone to ring, or the Grim Reaper to call. Out with the old-old and in with the new, modern maturity. In other words, STOP ACTING YOUR AGE so you can START LIVING YOUR LIFE. Time to YOUTH'N UP, discover the newfound ways to make your life youthful, again. All you need to get started is a new attitude about your potential and life-chances. Follow the author's nine-step, YOUTH"N formula to achieve active aging and adventurous retirement. Become a ZOOMER ... a boomer with Zip! The YOUTH'N UP formula is founded on the author's meta-analysis of research findings in peer-reviewed journals on preventive medicine, psychology, sociology and retirement living. Step-by-step, readers learn what experts have discovered about extending the youthful years of life. Age is just a number, as demonstrated by "older" people who look, feel and act decades younger than their chronological age. Readers learn the essentials of a total fitness lifestyle such as sound nutrition and dietary habits, brain boosting neurobics, improved body strength, increased energy, growing your social network, connecting to your higher power, achieving retirement-readiness and the pursuit of an AgeVenturous life. Readers are introduced to ZOOMER role-models, profiles of real people, not celebrities who possess an arsenal of personal trainers, life coaches and executive chefs. But rather, people just like you who have managed, on their own, to re-invent themselves and brighten their future. Be sure to take the author's Life-Stretcher quiz that measures the reader's progress toward achieving a genuine ZOOMER lifestyle. Become Age-Smart, then remain constantly current with listings of authoritative sources of information. Learn how to distinguish between "pop-culture hype" and the "real thing" (trustworthy research on successful aging and active retirement). Welcome aboard the ZOOMER style of life, where "Retirement is more a state of mind, than a stage of life."

Download or read book Stop Acting Your Age written by Thom McFadden and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thom McFadden works from the premise that, every day, no matter what our age or current health status, we have a very clear choice: We can grow older or we can grow younger.Some people might not see aging as a choice - they see it as something they have no control over, just like the passage of time. You can decide if you want to spend your days feeling vital, energetic, and healthy, and joyfully use your body to exercise, travel, and play with your children (or grandchildren) - or if you want to be confined to a life of joint and back pain, limited mobility, and a lack of physical strength that keeps you sitting on a bench and watching others do the things you once did.You already possess the power to determine your body's true age. The choice is yours: Passively allow the aging process to take over, or actively counter the aging.Until very recently, medical researchers believed that many of the negative effects of aging were inevitable. As we grow old, conventional wisdom has told us our skin sags, our muscles waste away, we gain weight, and we eventually develop a chronic disease, such as heart disease or cancer, which will kill us. (Is it any wonder we are such a youth-obsessed culture?) But in the past few years, scientists have made tremendous discoveries that offer a different picture of what it looks like to get older.Whether you are an over-40-year-old working parent needing a quick home-based workout, a middle-aged executive who needs to de-stress and rebalance between meetings, or a baby boomer who is looking for new ways to stay fit and vital, Stop Acting Your Age will give you the inspiration and understanding to feel and look stronger, healthier, and happier - for many years to come.Aging starts in your mind, and Thom McFadden will be your acting coach to think, act, and feel young again. Thom prepares you for your next developmental step to be the star in your play of life. You will see changes that will delight and amaze you. And remember, you can have anything you want, anything you can represent in your mind ... so, if you want to improve and want to "hack" your aging, follow Thom's advice and Stop Acting Your Age.

Download or read book This Chair Rocks written by Ashton Applewhite and published by Celadon Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite has written a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age. In our youth obsessed culture, we’re bombarded by media images and messages about the despairs and declines of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceutical companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vitality. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Gray hair should be colored and bald heads covered with implants. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and olders should just step aside for the new generation. Ashton Applewhite once held these beliefs too until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Explaining the roots of ageism in history and how it divides and debases, Applewhite examines how ageist stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of elders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and offers a rousing call to action. It’s time to create a world of age equality by making discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind of bias. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride! “Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination, and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.” —Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author

Download or read book You Don t Have to Act Your Age written by Win McFadden and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-01-31 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Win McFadden, now in his nineties, is an international senior track and field star who still participates in U.S. Masters and Senior Olympics competition. In You Dont Have to Act Your Age, he has written a book with a radical mission: to convince the many millions of people over the age of 65 that the remaining years of their lives can be healthy, joyful ones. He poses the following questions: Suppose that in our effort to be as healthy as we could possibly be, we engaged in a pursuit that also let us have funand that while having fun we became totally absorbed and therefore willingly disciplined in our efforts? Suppose further that because of our dedication and discipline, we were eventually rewarded by public recognition and tangible rewards? What if as our days sped by in this happy, rewarding, and disciplined existence, we also met large numbers of friends who were similarly healthy, dedicated, and interesting? And suppose that through the friends we made and the recognition we received we became able to be of service to other older people who needed help in bringing themselves to a condition of greater health and fitnessand therefore happiness. That would be true satisfaction of the highest order. He claims that his positive answers to these questions have been the result of his participating in Masters athletics and teaching physical fitness classes for older adults. In this second edition of You Dont Have to Act Your Age, McFadden has added tips for seniors on how to choose an exercise class that meets their needs, as well as advice for younger relatives of seniors who now live in convalescent facilities on how to encourage their loved ones to remain as physically fit as possible.
