What Dr. Secor Can Say in an Interview on
Staying Motivated With Our Fitness Goals:

Many assume that older people can’t get healthy and fit and stay healthy and fit. This is a myth. I started my current health/fitness journey when I was 59 and now, I am 68 years young. I lost 30 pounds and 12 inches from my waist (during my doctoral program) and have maintained this nine years later. I started weightlifting, doing consistent cardio exercise, stretching, eating healthy, getting adequate sleep, and reducing my stress. And guess what? I now feel better than ever. I feel better than when I was in my 30s and 40s.

Tips to Enjoy Exercise More:

- Select activities you enjoy. You are much more likely to maintain an exercise program if you enjoy the activity. Do you like walking, swimming, riding a bike, working out at a gym, or working out at home? To start, maybe try walking around the block. Notice everything as a sensory experience; nature, bird sounds, flowers, anything, everything. This will take your mind off the exercise/activity. This approach works like magic for me. You can also dance to music in your home. Rethinking your approach to exercise will definitely help get you started.
