Caracteristici

Now, AARP and Runner's World are going to cover his running his 40th marathon at pub time in May 2010. He is a frequent guest on the lecture circuit in the medical community, giving more than 50 speeches per year at places like the America College of Sports Medicine Summit, the American College of Physicians Annual Meeting, and the Brooksdale Institution: www.walterbortz.com.
Several prominent people have promised to give endorsements, including Eric Schlosser.
At a time when most people start to disengage - retire, give up working on relationships, lose their sexuality - Bortz's message is opposite: engage sexually, mentally, socially, and professionally!
With 75 million boomers in the US, we are on the cusp of a senior explosion
