Fit Over 50: Make Simple Choices Today for a Healthier You - Part 2 with Guest Dr. Walt Larimore

When most people think of getting fit, they focus exclusively on strengthening their physical bodies. But, on today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Walt Larimore points to the importance of another kind of strength training through the pursuit of a healthy life balance – relationally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Dr. Larimore stresses the value of healthy eating but also underscores the need to read the Bible, forgive others, spend time outdoors, and volunteer.
