Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After Fifty with Jim Owen

On the Aging GreatFULLy show, we say regularly, "You're Never too Old!" And this week's guest, author Jim P. Owen, proves this perfectly! On his 70th Birthday, he looked into the mirror and decided if he was going to live a long, meaningful life, he needed to make some changes. A former self-proclaimed "certified couch potato," Jim set out on a mission to Just Move -- every single day! And he hasn't stopped since! Jim says if he can do it, you can too! After a successful 35-year Wall Street career, James P. Owen found new purpose in being an author, inspirational speaker, and social entrepreneur. His book, Cowboy Ethics, a best-seller with more than 150,000 copies in circulation, and two follow-up volumes, Cowboy Values and The Try, put a spotlight on the importance of shared values and personal character in our society. Along the way, Jim established a nonprofit foundation, the Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership, to help support and amplify those ongoing programs.Now Jim has expanded his focus, becoming a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. In his speaking engagements, he reminds audiences that being in shape helps older adults stay mobile, active, and independent, enabling a quality of life no amount of money can buy. Fitness could also play an important role in combating serious chronic diseases and controlling health care costs as our nation’s over-50 population balloons."JUST MOVE Book A New Approach to Fitness After Fifty," highlights Jim's journey from living an unhealthy, sedentary life of being a poster-child for looming old age, to now being 78 years young and in the best shape of his life!
