With retirement age bearing down on us it's imperative for us baby boomers to take control of our own health and wealth now to ensure the next thirty to forty years or more truly are our best. The great news is that you can easily get to your ideal weight without some crazy diet and you don't need millions of dollars socked away to live the life you want. The boomer generation has always rejected the established ways of doing things and if you've found yourself scratching your head about what is considered conventional wisdom, you're already on the right track. Baby boomer retirement is going to be different, but it is going to be up to us as individuals to make it happen. Take control now and be as fit, active and carefree as you want while thoroughly enjoying the best time of your life on your own terms.
