Age Gracefully? No, Age Healthfully!

Let the future be your motivation for fitness!

Our sedentary world makes it hard to stay fit. We work long hours at our desks. Maybe eat too much takeout from restaurants. Probably watch too much TV, because … well, we can’t miss our favorite shows, right?

Inactivity has a high price, though. Do you want to be able chase your kids or grandkids around… travel and fully enjoy your life … even be able to get off the toilet without assistance? How about just look in the mirror and feel good about yourself?

The cost of poor health is steep. The solution lies in doing something … just a bit at a time.  Employee retention speaker (and power lifter) Jeff Kortes wants you to “Be Fit for You!”  If you’re feeling a bit unfit, Jeff can relate. He was active earlier in life – wrestling, distance running and martial arts. Those drifted away. Still, he wasn’t overweight, or grievously out of shape. He just wasn’t … aging healthy.

At 59, Jeff had an epiphany. His son said he looked “frail.” Taking a hard look in the mirror, Jeff realized he was right. Thus began a quest that took him to places never foreseen.

Jeff took up crossfit training. His passion quickly grew. Serious weightlifting followed. Less than a decade later, he was competing in the USA Powerlifting National Championships.

The experience brought a stark realization: Without engaging to get fit, Jeff would have encountered serious, negative lifestyle changes. He was on the precipice. He committed to be fit… and help others do so, too!

In this energetic presentation, Jeff provides actionable steps toward better health and, as importantly, motivation for fitness to keep moving forward. Getting fit doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. It can be fun, fulfilling and a way to meet new friends.

The process starts with measured goals. Doing something, no matter how small, is better than nothing. Jeff details an approach that, taken in stride, yields results that will have you feeling better and living a fuller life.

Jeff couldn’t be a successful employee retention trainer – traveling regularly, going on stage, and making dynamic presentations – without being fit. He didn’t want to be a frail old man. Healthy activity prolonged his career and enhanced his life.

You, too, can enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life, regardless of age. The first step can be the
hardest … so let Jeff help you get off the couch and into the game!
