There are no “types of people” for the
Wellness Department’s newest program, Your Body, Your Life. Because the program
is designed specifically for the individual, fitness level, age and ability are
never determining factors.
Inspired by a book, “Younger Next Year,”
82-year-old Rand Galt decided he wasn’t going to act his age. “You have to do
serious exercise each week,” he said. “Otherwise, you’re just going to
deteriorate.”
Rand chose YBYL to keep fit simply because
there was nothing like it. And his curiosity about cardiovascular health can be
met during the training sessions he’ll have with cardio coach Annelise
Digiacomo.
For Rand, it’s about staying healthy as long
as he can. “As you age, you start seeing your friends with walkers and wheel
chairs, and that tells you the story,” he said. “I’m not about to sit in an
armchair and watch the sun go down.”
