from The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast · host Jim Owen

Text us a comment or question!I’ll pretty much tell anyone who will listen that I’m in the best shape of my life at age 57 – and I feel the best is yet to come.  And to be fair I never set the bar very high earlier in my life from a fitness perspective.  And if you act even just a little bit interested – maybe you’re just being polite – I’ll tell you all about how I did it and what I’ve learned along the way - and you might in fact find it difficult to shut me up.  I just can’t help myself, I’m very passionate about healthy aging and I want to spread the message. And while it might be impressive to be in the best shape of your life in your fifties, what about someone in their sixties?  Or maybe even in their seventies – now that would be remarkable!  But what about an 80-year-old?  Is it possible to be eighty and be in the best shape of your life?My guest today is James P Owen.  After a successful 35 year Wall Street career, Jim found new purpose as an author, speaker and social entrepreneur.  His book Cowboy Ethics has sold over 160,000 copies and is still going strong.  But despite all of Jim’s successes, he found himself at 70 years old in very poor health.  He was close to 50 pounds overweight and suffered from crippling back pain.  Today at age 80 Jim is in the best shape of his life and has become an evangelist for healthy aging.  He is the author of the book Just Move: A New Approach to Fitness After 50, and the Producer of the docu-series titled The Art of Aging Well.   You can learn more about Jim via the following resources:Cowboy Ethics Website - http://cowboyethics.org/cowboy-ethics/Just Move Book - https://www.amazon.com/Just-Move-Approach-Fitness-After/dp/1426218656/The Art of Aging Well Website (and film) - https://theartofagingwell.com/🎉 The PrimeForge App is officially here!
