I can't tell you how often people ask me how I keep my strength, and maintain my muscle mass as I age. I will be 60 this year and I'm stronger than I have ever been. The three things that I credit for maintaining my strength and muscle as I age are; a daily spiritual practice, regular strength training, and getting enough protein in my diet.
Daily Spiritual Practice
I believe we all have unlimited access to a Divine Eternal Life Giving Source. Each morning the first thing I do is to connect with my Divine Source, I call it my coffee time with God. I thank God for my life, health, and strength, I read something inspirational, and then sit in silence basking in God's unconditional love. I'm always amazed at how the stress in my life melts away like snow in the light of warm sunshine during this time.
I am convinced that if you feed your soul first, your mind and your body will also be nourished. Since starting this daily practice over 15 years ago, I've only missed one day of work due to sickness.

I'm an ACE certified personal trainer and National Masters Over 60 Powerlifting Champion with over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. I've seen a lot of fads come and go, but three things remain constant in getting healthy and staying fit. A positive mental attitude, a healthy balanced diet, and a fitness program built on proper strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Practice these three things daily and you will discover that they lead to "The Fountain of Youth."
