Why is a 70-Year-Old Swede Roller Skiing Across The Entire Country of Canada?

Ever thought you were too old to exercise or that it was too late for you to start getting in shape? Think again! Read all about how my 70-year-old father is in the best shape of his life and how his secrets can help YOU get there too!

Here it is, right up front: your age is just a number. It's not who you are…it's not your limitation. It's just a number.

How do I know this? I need to look only as far as my father, Alex Nilsson, who turned 70 years of age last December. At this very moment, as you read this, he is roller skiing across Canada, covering more than 50 to 60 miles per day (80 to 100 km)…every day…until he makes it all the way across the entire country!
