I'm glad I stumbled upon this podcast, there is a lot of really great information specifically for me and my age range. As you grow old and health starts becoming a much more important factor, it's great to have a place you can learn more and listen even while working out. There are so many things that I am understanding now about exercising that I didn't before and it motivates me to keep going.
