Kathy Smith - How to Stay Fit and Look Great at ANY Age!

The modern fitness industry began in the early 1970s. The folks who have been working out consistently since exercise became popular are now in their 60s and 70s and have completely redefined the aging process. Kathy Smith has been a fitness icon ever since Ronald Reagan was President and MTV actually played music videos; she has promoted the benefits of an active lifestyle through books, exercise videos, TV shows and now a podcast. Now in her late 60s, Kathy is as active as ever and enjoys her favorite activities like running as well as learning new ones like surfing or uphill skiing (yes, that's a thing) thanks to the benefits of regular exercise like strength training and yoga. On this episode of All About Fitness, Kathy shares her insights for how she has used exercise to take control of the aging process, the workouts she credits with giving her the strength to maintain an active lifestyle (and look amazing while doing it) and how you too can use exercise to live your best life no matter your age. This is an inspirational and riveting discussion with one of the true titans of fitness.
