3 . On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself bending the top of his body forward and raising his shoulders and back and walking slowly up to the platform where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,” says Owen, who built a successful career on Wall Street. Even worse, he felt like an old man. He was about 25 pounds overweight and had trouble with his back, knees and shoulders.

Later, instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year goal. He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise-even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up. Owen began walking though he was out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics down, he started lifting weights and hired a personal trainer to teach him and design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed, which turned out to be cycling and swimming.

In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was free of aches and pains. “Aging is only about 25% genes, and the rest is lifestyle,” he says. “As long as you’re still mobile, it’s never too late to become more healthy.”

Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness after 50, in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. He says, “Think of it as movement, not exercise. Get started even if you walk just three blocks, which was all I could manage at first.” He adds, “The key is slow and steady progress. Not every investment pays off, but it is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life.”
