028 You are never too old for an active life! with Vicki Morrison

Creating Active Lives

In this week's episode I am talking to Vicki Morrison all about keeping active as you get older.
We discuss:

• how to keep an active life later in life
• how to embrace what we have
• inspire yourself to be real, not perfect
• Vicki's involvement with the Special Olympics
• some of the amazing challenges Vicki has completed

The key message is – you really are never too old. So, get active, stay active and grab those opportunities to live a full life as long as possible.
About Vicki:
Vicki is the living embodiment of an active life continuing into our later years.

She not only did her first ironman at 50 but now, more than a decade on she hikes, rides, climbs, swims, cycles and more. She also supports young people to be more active through Outward Bound, Camp America, Spirit of Adventure (a sailing initiative for teenagers) and helping young people with learning disability and Down’s syndrome train for the Special Olympics.

She has worked on cattle and sheep stations in Australia and New Zealand – after the age of 50 – and is up for any adventure believing that we should grab every opportunity that comes our way.

Vicki, like me, believes that being active is not just what we do, it’s also what we help others to do, and that an active life keeps us young!
