Episode 20: Hosted by Preston "Ty" Tyree and Ani Colt: The conversation in this episode is far ranging but keeps coming back to being active physically and mentally to maintain your edge into your 80's and beyond. Chris Crowley, 86 year old Author of Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy - Until You're 80 and Beyond has sold over 2 million copies and been translated into 23 languages. This book was his first about what you can do to help you age better and enjoy aging more. Chris also recommends his book Younger Next Year The Exercise Program and Fit Forever videos. The newest edition of the YNY book has new material about keeping mentally active as well. Chris quoted his co-author, Henry Lodge as saying "how long you live is 80% genetics and how well you live is 20% genetics."

Chris and I met at a bicycle camp in Connecticut 15 years ago just after his book was first published. Now he has released a new edition with new material about mental aging and staving off Alzheimer's disease. The 20th episode Growing Old(er)! seemed a great time to ask him to talk about what he has learned about aging well.
