Show notes
When Jim Owen was 70 years old, he saw himself as an old man for the first time. He was 25 pounds overweight. He suffered from chronic back issues, had two shot knees, and struggled with a frozen rotator cuff. He wasn't happy, and he wasn't comfortable - and when he walked into the gym, he couldn't do a single push-up.
Jim had spent the last 35 years in the investment world. He served as a partner in and sold three firms, wrote a number of successful books including The Prudent Investor and Cowboy Ethics, and delivered 35 talks a year as an in-demand speaker for a decade. His grueling schedule doing what he loved took a clear toll on his physical health - and in retirement he didn't want to lose what was left of his mobility.
Now, at 78, he's in the best shape of his life. He weighs 50 pounds less than he did in high school - and can knock out three sets of 50 push-ups on command. His chronic pains have gone away, and he sees his best days as ahead of him.
Today, Jim joins the podcast to talk about his new book, Just Move, the journey he took to turn his physical health around, why exercise is the foundation of the art of aging well, and his mission to help fellow Boomers get active and live their best lives.
