I'm
half-way through the safari. We've experienced total immersion in the
Hadze culture, experienced the world's eighth natural wonder—the
Ngorongoro Crater—and the world's largest zoo—a 10 mile by 12 mile
caldera with 1,800 foot walls. We're now in the Serengeti. As luck
would have it, we've connected with part of the great migration of

Nowadays you don't have to wait around for a trainer or instructor
to get fit. And you don't have to limit yourself to being stuck at home
in front of the TV watching workout DVDs or videos.
Just reach for your iPod or MP3 player and download an audio-guided workout from the iTunes
store. You can have coaches like Lance Armstrong and Serena Williams
whispering in your ear while you run, or a selection of original music.
There are audio tracks for yoga, as well as indoor sports and outdoor
sports. For a customized workout soundtrack with legendary fitness trainers, check out the Podfitness website.
Complete a fitness questionnaire online, and they'll deliver training
programs targetted to your goals. All you do is choose the music and
get moving. [ Read More]

mementos of our married lives together and recalled our earlier 25-year
milestone celebration. [ Read More]

It’s my pleasure to begin this series of portraits with the story of a
man who has inspired me to persevere with my commitment to exercise
regularly since I met him two years ago. When I decided to begin this
column, I immediately thought of Richard Gauntlett as the epitome of a
person who is redefining the culture of aging through his actions. “You
don’t have to a specialist or a particularly great athlete to
accomplish your goals. All you need is to be clear about what you’re
setting out to do, commit to keep going through the difficulties, and
give yourself the freedom to take as much time as you need.”
