Pumping Irony

Back on the golf course last week, I renewed my traumatic relationship with the club and the little white ball.

Puttering around the house is a great way to change up your workout routine.

Will doubling my 15-minute daily workout add years to my life? Not so much.

Dementia has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., so why is it declining in Sweden?

Could we Baby Boomers actually be healthier, as a group, than the generations chasing us?

Motor skills don’t start to deteriorate until you’re 64, according to a new study, so I have no excuses yet for my lame tennis game.

I’ve never enjoyed static stretching before a workout, and now it appears I should avoid it altogether.

I always thought my hearing loss was all about growing old, but it’s really about too much noise.

TV commercials are constantly urging old guys like me to “ask my doctor” about cholesterol-lower drugs. We’d be better off ignoring them.

Playing video games is supposed to help oldsters like me feel happier, but I’m perfectly happy living in the real world.

Nothing like crashing onto an icy sidewalk to get you thinking about growing old.

The medical industry is amazed by a new study showing a link between diet and heart disease. I wonder when these guys are going to get a clue.

A new study on coffee and mortality reminds me that one can glean whatever one wants to glean from research.

I’ve never trusted the drug commercials on TV and a new study tells me I should remain skeptical.

I’m beginning to understand the value of sticking to a daily routine.

There’s a reason why some folks never take to exercise. It’s all in their head.

By lacing up my ice skates, I’m doing my part to prolong our frigid winter. Sorry about that.

When my son showed up for the Commitment Day 5K, I had a feeling I’d be running rather than walking.

January 1, 2013, is Commitment Day, and I don’t have a clue what to expect. Maybe that’s a good thing.

When you’re battling the common cold, a little exercise is just what the doctor ordered.
