Adulthood! HOORAH!

HOORAH! WE

MADE IT!

Lots of changes in early/middle adulthood!

We tend to believe that age is bad

Examples of the decremental model

old age is NOT inevitable

…Just ask Winifred!

Winifred PristellShe can bench 176.2 pounds, and dead lift 270 pounds!

@ age 70!!!!

Her incredibly positive attitude: Her trainer, Andrew “Bull” Stewart says of her, “She has no limitations.  Mentally, physically, she just has a spirit about her, an attitude that she can do anything.”

Her perseverance: Three days every week she is up at 5:30am and goes to the gym to lift weights.  She has integrated exercise and healthy eating habits into her normal routine of life.

Her belief in herself: Even though she has arthritis in her hands, feet, and back, Winifred believes she can overcome her challenges.  “We are all dealing with something.  If you let whatever you’re dealing with control your life, you have no quality of life.”

We are guilty of AGESIM!

Ageism: prejudice against someone based on their age
