Exercise and Longevity: Age is Just a Number

May 12, 2019

In this episode, we discuss how exercise can promote longevity in the aging population. We speak to Dr. Joe Baker about his work with Masters athletes and some negative stereotypes surrounding exercise in older adults. We have the opportunity to speak to Cathy Scharge, a Masters athlete who happens to be the second woman to run a marathon in Canada. Finally, we discuss a unique method of exercise called Nordic walking with Gabriella De Nino from Urban Poling. The experience and expertise of our guests show us that age is just a number!
