Saturday, 4/10 at 8 AM PT: Host Cynthia Friedlob talks with Bob Fitzgerald
BOB FITZGERALD, Senior Fitness Specialist – Bob had a history of childhood illnesses that made him frail and weak. That changed dramatically when he began weight-training in the late 1940s. He went on to be a professional wrestler, then continued working out and coaching other athletes and sports teams on strength and flexibility training. When he was 50, he entered the New York City marathon, finishing in the upper half of the field. He’s certified by many professional organizations, including AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), AIFE (American Institution of Fitness Educators), DSW (Desert Southwest Fitness), and NASM (National Association of Sports Medicine). Today, Bob, now 80 years old and still in excellent condition, specializes in working with older adults as a Senior Fitness Training Specialist, offering motivational presentations, and classes for groups and individuals. Bob shares his thoughts on the value of exercise for older adults.
