On today’s episode, I’m joined by Bernie Rhinerson who started his fitness journey in his 60s and has pushed to inspire other grandparents to prioritize their physical health.
We go into depth on:
The importance of active participation as a grandparent
How grandparents hold a different role than parents (and how to prepare for it)
How parenting evolves as you become a grandparent, but never stops
Why mobility and strength are necessary for grandparents
Why it’s even more important to prioritize your health as you age
Bernie spent his whole adulthood focusing on his career and his children at the expense of his physical health. In this episode, he shares his own journey into health and fitness and describes how it has impacted his life as he became a grandfather. On this podcast, we often talk about taking care of ourselves in order to take care of others; Bernie is the example of how that carries beyond just our normal adulthood. He also is the poster child for “it’s never too late.” If you’re a parent in the thick of things, this is a reminder that doing it now makes it easier later. If you’re getting older, this is a reminder to get started. And if you have a loved one who might need to hear this, please share it; it might just change their life.
