I loved what Maddy had to say about strength training & balance as well as setting goals for a successful retirement by challenging your mind to keep cognitively sound. Avoid stuff – like sugar and super processed foods. It is challenging to develop new habits but not too late. Then the surprise was when she said she was 74 years old because she sounded so energetic, and her thoughts and speech flowed so smoothly, just hearing that gave me the impression that she was younger. At age 64, I’m inspired by her.
Thanks so much for commenting here!
Yes, Maddy seems much younger than her 74 years! She definitely practices what she has studied. She looks and sounds more than 20 years younger. A very motivational person!!
