Harry W. King is 83 and still works out four days a week, combining weight training with sessions on the rowing machine. He’s also a personal trainer, helping others discover the benefits of regular exercise. “Movement has always been part of who I am, and it still fuels my energy and independence today,” King told Tom’s Guide earlier this year.

The American College of Sports Medicine ranked fitness programs for older adults number…

Ever feel like you’re too old to keep doing what you love? Here’s a story to give you something to think about. Eight women, ages 77 to 85, competed this month at Boston’s prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta. They’re the first all-women’s crew averaging over 80 to compete in it. The Californians have been rowing together for more than 30 years. They hope their example encourages others to keep moving, competing and pursuing new goals. “You can start in your 50s, and you can still be going on 30 years later,” Kim Coggan told Spectrum News. “We are trying…

If your neck aches by the end of the day, you are far from alone, and new research suggests relief might be as close as the towel in your bathroom. A small study found that a simple towel-based routine, built around a five-second move you do lying down, helped cut chronic neck pain by nearly half over four weeks. That was almost double the relief people got from ordinary stretching alone. It sounds almost too easy, so here is the honest picture: what the study actually found, exactly how to do the five-second towel move step by step, why physical…

Grandchildren are super active, and you’ll need all the strength you can get to keep up. But the last time you got any actual exercise likely was when you went to the local market or to do some farming. Today, we don’t exercise as much as we should, and grandparents need to make sure they embrace exercise as much as any younger person. What you eat is as important…

By Paul and Ann Malkmus You wake up in the third week of October with a scratchy throat and a nose that will not settle. By mid-morning you have sneezed eleven times. You stand at the kitchen window with something warm in your hands, looking at the leaves banked up against the fence, and you try to work out whether you are coming down with something or whether it is just the air. The answer matters less than it feels like it should. What is in the air in late October Weed pollen season starts in August and runs six…

This creamy chickpea skillet is a cozy, vegetarian one-pan dinner that you can throw together with just 30 minutes and a handful of Mediterranean staples. Photo Credits: Ali Redmond The Fast, Easy Chickpea Recipe I’m Making on Repeat The recipe for these tangy, creamy chickpeas was born on a busy workday. My daughter Dara and I were deep into a project together, and when lunchtime rolled around, the fridge was nearly bare. Usually we have leftovers to lean on, but not that day.
