Thanks to advances in medical science, we are living longer than ever before. But how much thought and effort do we put into preparing for these extra years of life? This book makes a strong case for the virtues of physical activity to maintain health and mobility in old age. From mindset and exercise to diet and sleep, each chapter summarizes the scientific evidence and offers advice and encouragement on how to change your everyday habits - starting right now. Interwoven with anecdotes from the author's adventurous life, this is a passionate, highly personal manifesto for embracing later life with humor, resilience, and optimism.A successful entrepreneur and all-round athlete, Jack Lowe has climbed the highest peaks on three continents and travelled 22 countries by bike. At the age of 78, he championed the creation of the Fit for Life Foundation to promote life-long fitness and independent mobility of older people worldwide.All proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to the Fit for Life Foundation, www.fitforlife.foundation
