Radical Age Documentary: Challenging Stereotypes of Aging


Radical Age is a 2019 documentary that follows six older adults ranging in age from 60 to 86. Each of them proves that it’s never too late to defy conventional beliefs about what it means to be old.

The film tackles how society views aging, it’s prejudices against older women who are competent and assertive, and the expectations of what you should and should not do when you’re over a certain age.

Weight Vests and Joint Health: What You Need to Know


There are benefits and drawbacks to wearing a weighted vest during hiking, running or walking.

Keep in mind that aging is about wear and tear. As we get older, we want to take care of our muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons, being mindful that all body parts are working properly and are free of pain.

When you wear a weighted vest, or carry dumbbells during hiking, walking or running, you’re placing an extra load on your hips and knees. This may lead to joint pain or possible long-term damage.

If you’re over 50 and your knees and hips don’t bother you, consider the physical downside to adding weight to your cardio workouts before you set out on your hike, walk or run.
