My little motto that I've been saying for years is, “You rest you rust.” I'm in better shape now at 72 than I was 50. I say that if you can exercise and keep yourself mentally involved you are not going to think you're aging. I don't feel old. That’s why my mom decided to become an instructor with SilverSneakers was to in order to help motivate my dad to keep going. When I'm teaching a class and I see my husband smiling, having fun, interacting with his fellow classmates, I just have such joy. Once she started becoming really active, it was just kind of a light, I think, that popped on. You know, she felt so much more confident in herself. People say you can't do this at a certain age or you can't do that, but I think it's just a head game and deciding on what you want to do and being motivated. My motivation is my own health, my husband's health, somebody else's needs of me. I want to keep as active as I can and keep my mind busy. I saw my husband wheeling me around in a wheelchair in the hospital. I said, “No. I'm going to walk. I'm going to be myself again.” This wasn't going to beat me. That I was going to beat it. Every single thing that I did in rehab, we had done in SilverSneakers prior. I knew I could do it, because I had done it before. But it has been a tremendous thing. It's gotten her stronger and myself too. I mean, I'm in better shape now than I've probably been in 25 years. And I think when seniors see that someone is a senior and can do that, it motivates them further. Everybody's got their thing, mine is SilverSneakers.
“You rest, you rust.” SilverSneakers members share how the fitness program has helped them get motivated and get moving.
