Dr. Mark Hyman

I personally was a yoga teacher.

I ran five miles a day.

You know, I rode my bike.

You know, I always exercised for the last 50-plus years.

But I hated the idea of gym.

When I was 50, I couldn't do 10 push-ups.

I was intimidated because I was kind of skinny and tall, and I didn't like to go to the gym with all these guys with giant muscles.

And I smelled, and I was like, I don't know what to do.

And I thought it was just for meatheads and I had so much judgment about it.

And then I decided I better get my act together because I was telling all my patients to do this.

So at 59, I started working with a trainer and started, and I can show you a picture after, but like I had a picture of me when I was 26 and now when I'm 66, it's like a different body.

And I didn't think I could do it at this age.

But at any age, you can start to do this.

There's a book I gave my mom.

She got very mad at me for her 60th birthday.

It's called Growing Old is Not for Sissies.

And it's all about these elder athletes because her thing was basically she would say, every time I have the urge to exercise, I lie down until it goes away.

So, and she suffered from it.

She lost so much muscle.

She was so frail.
