Turning 60 is big milestone. When I turned sixty. I took a long look at my fitness and quality of life.
I started training for a marathon this past year and that was probably one of the best decisions that I could have made for my health and overall sense of well being.
From a psychological stand point, it has been very healthy for my overall sense of well being. Like many other health care providers, I was feeling stress and burnout after the pandemic. Focusing on something for me was key to improving my health.
If you are thinking of starting an exercise program, speak to your doctor first for an assessment. Find a program that is going to work for you and ease into it.
Depending on the type of exercise program that you start out with, getting a good pair of shoes is important. I found the Brooks shoe to be an excellent running shoe. It feels very comfortable and accommodates orthotics.
