Quotations on Aging

Tips for a successful exercise program:

1. Make a realistic assessment of your current physical fitness condition.
2. Start off slow and be patient.

6. Enjoy exercise activities with others, but don't depend upon others to exercise.
7. Be realistic about your exercise goals in the long run.

"But who you are is not a concept in the sky, and it's not a record of you accomplishments
either. The most original and creative side of you can re-emerge only when you get time
of your own, free time, wide-open time, uncommitted time, time in which to go after dreams
or do absolutely nothing if you choose. Without it you can't have a self."
- Barbara Sher, It's Only Too Late If You Don't Start Now, 1998, p 228

"America is growing older at an unprecedented rate. The number of people 65 and older is
larger than ever before, and those 85 and older constitute the fastest growing segment of the
population. When the baby boom generation enters its senior years, between 2010 and 2030,
it is projected that one in five Americans will be over 65."
- American Geriatric Society, What is Geriatrics?

"Ten Ways to Inspire People to Keep Fit: Be a role model; make fitness fun; be both active
and productive; make workouts short and sweet; extol the benefits; train for a charity event
together; set short-term goals; offer to be a workout partner; use inspirational music; don't
preach, lecture or nag. "
- American Council on Exercise

"So far as motivational status is concerned, healthy people have sufficiently gratified
their basic needs for safety, belongingness, love, respect and self-esteem so that
they are motivated primarily by trends to self-actualization (defined as ongoing
actualization of potentials, capacitates and talents, as fulfillment of mission (or call,
fate, destiny, or vocation), as a fuller knowledge of, and acceptance of, the person's
own intrinsic nature, as an unceasing trend toward unity, integration or synergy within
the person. .. These healthy people are there defined by describing their clinically observed
characteristics. These are:
1. Superior perception of reality.
2. Increased acceptance of self, of others and of nature.
3. Increased spontaneity.
4. Increase in problem-centering.
5. Increased detachment and desire for privacy.
6. Increased autonomy, and resistance to enculturation.
7. Greater freshness of appreciation, and richness of emotional reaction.
8. Higher frequency of peak experiences.
9. Increased identification with the human species.
10. Changed and improved interpersonal relations.
11. More democratic character structure.
12. Greatly increased creativeness.
13. Certain changes in the value system."

Toward a Psychology of Being. Abraham Maslow. New Jersey, Van Nostrand,
1962. 3rd Edition, Wiley, 1998. 320 pages. ISBN: 0471293091. pp.23-24

Don Miguel Ruiz's " Four Agreements":
1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.

"With 3.3 million residents age 65 and older, California is home to the largest elderly population
in the United States. This age group is expected to have an overall 112 percent increase between
1990 and 2020."
- CSU Sacramento Gerontology Program

Goods Manufacturers Association. Of those, an estimated 1.6 million
were 55 or older."
