The Secrets of Aging Well: Get Outside

By Martin Pazzani

Discover the secrets of aging well. Join the ranks of active agers. Get the kind of fitness you cannot find in a gym. The kind of fitness that builds not only a stronger body and a sharper brain, but improves every part of your life.

Globetrotting fitness executive, entrepreneur, and mountaineer Martin Pazzani has taken 100,000,000 uphill steps on seven continents over fifty years. On this journey he discovered that walking uphill – hiking – might just be the Fountain of Youth and the pathway to a much longer, happier, and healthier life.
