Get Up and Go: Strategies for Active Living After 50

By Jim McDonald and Olga McDonald

There are many books directed at those who are retired or about to retire, and most of them focus on financial matters, food and nutrition, or the best place to settle down. Most fitness books are written for the serious fitness enthusiast, not your average Canadian annuitant. This is a book with a different goal. Get Up and Go motivates those 50 and over to become more physically fit and mentally active. Why? So they can live longer, stay healthy, feel good, and enjoy life. And best of all, the authors are speaking from first-hand experience: if it's in the book, it's a reflection of their own personal lifestyle. Whether the reader's main interest is fitness, genealogy, volunteering, crafts, the computer, or the learning journey, every chapter is packed with reliable information and interesting tips to help make the most of life.

How to really thrive in your later years

I have seen many books that explain nutrition and finances for over 50's, but this book actually shows you how to thrive and enjoy your life. If you've retired or you are waiting for retirement (I am), everyone can get the most fun from this book about really living life after 50. Well done.
