Are you aging faster than you should?
On episode 702 of the 40+ Fitness
podcast, Coach Allan welcomes back Jim Owen, a living example of
how purposeful action can redefine aging.
Jim, a 40-year Wall Street veteran turned passionate advocate for
healthy aging, didn’t even begin his fitness journey until he was
70—proof that it’s never too late to take charge of your
health.
Together, they discuss Jim’s transformative story and dive into
his acclaimed documentaries, “The Art of Aging Well” and “Super
Agers: Getting Old, Living Young,” both of which have aired on PBS
and resonated with audiences nationwide.
Throughout their conversation, Jim outlines the practical steps
that helped him go from struggling with chronic pain and low energy
to becoming functionally fit, vibrant, and motivated well into his
80s. From the fundamentals of exercise, nutrition, stress
management, and quality sleep, to the powerful force of purpose and
passion, Jim shares hard-earned wisdom and actionable advice for
anyone looking to invest in their future well-being.
If you’re determined to play an active role in your health,
spend more quality years with family, or simply want to feel your
best as you age, this episode is packed with motivation and tips to
help you become a “superager” too.
