Maintaining an Active Lifestyle Over 50

Health — specifically, being able to maintain an active lifestyle and stay energetic — is a top priority and key concern for many. Kathy Smith: Ageless Energy – a new special from the fitness icon – addresses and provides solutions to the “personal energy crisis” of viewers, specifically those over the age of 50. Topics discussed include Kathy’s four pillars of energy, why energy is the key to staying youthful, the importance of functional fitness and strength training, and why it’s never too late to get fit.

A leading force in the fitness industry for 30 years, Kathy redefines the concept of “fitness” for women and men viewers, in both inspirational and practical terms. The program spotlights Kathy as a mature woman whose wisdom accumulated from her own life and working with thousands of adults. She inspires viewers to reframe their perspective on what it means to be fit, and provides them with the tools to create a life-plan that ensures continuing energy, stamina, strength and vitality.
