Learn an 85-year-old's Secrets to Staying Fit and Healthy

As people around the world continue to search for the fountain of youth -- ways to stay fit and healthy -- there is one piece of advice that comes up repeatedly in magazine articles, journals, and medical blogs, and that advice is to exercise. Kaiser Permanente Colorado member Jane Carlstrom shows us that it's never too late to begin exercising. She started at age 50 and is going strong at 85 years young! Carlstrom enjoys weightlifting, skiing and spinning. She credits her daily exercise routine as the key to staying young and healthy. In fact, she believes that staying fit helped with her quick recovery from pneumonia. Also, hear from a Kaiser Permanente geriatrician about the benefits of exercise.

There's longevity in my family, but they don't usually stay this fit because they don't exercise. I am going to be the exception. Ladies like this are inspirational.

[@robertallen6710]

...90% of thumbs down people aren't rational people...most do it just to irk others, to go against the grain...
