This is how Fit For My Age started. I was, and still am a middle-aged man who seemed to have all of the bad things that can happen to a man of my age, happen to me in a very short space of time. Or at least it felt like it! I am sure that I am not alone in having a wake-up call type of experience. If we are lucky it happens to every man and every woman. I decided to heed the call and improve my lifestyle. Fit For My Age is a record of my attempts to learn the things that I wish I had known earlier in life. The sort of things that may have helped me avoid or better manage the ageing process. So, I might sound as if I am saying, I wish I’d known then what I know now! Mine will not be the only voice that you hear. I will be talking to a wide range of experts and may even be able to persuade some of the personal trainers that I have worked with to join me every so often. What I do hope is that by sharing the knowledge I gain and the experiences that I have had you will also discover ways in which you can improve your physical health and your mental wellbeing. You never know, a little knowledge may mean that we can, regardless of our age, all be able to say that we are Fit For My Age! Please contact me with any questions, feedback, or content suggestions via the FitForMyAge.com website. Thank you.

    Preparing for Care and Caring – a conversation with Vicky Jones founder of Our Lives

    How well prepared are you for what life may throw at you? Vicky Jones has spent her career providing care for other people. She started as a front-line care provider and is now a director. Vicky is also the founder of Our Lives, an App and podcast that helps people plan for their future lives. As Vicky explains to host Michael Millward in this episode of the Abeceder health and wellbeing podcast Fit For My Age when we think about our futures we think about career ambitions, and lifestyle aspirations. We do not think about how the injuries, or illnesses that might mean we have to completely redesign our lives. Vicky and Michael discuss how we can prepare for the unexpected and make life easier for ourselves and the people who will be looking after us. Vicky discusses Swedish Death Planning and other practical steps we should all take to prepare for the unexpected. Think needing care or being a carer is something that will happen to other people, think again. 1 in 3 people will at some point in their life be a carer.
