I Tried Creatine at 77: Why I Finally Started Taking It

For most of my life, I avoided supplements. Then I kept hearing physicians, researchers, and experts who study aging talk about one supplement over and over again: creatine. Not for bodybuilding. Not for bigger muscles. For strength, brain function, and fighting age-related frailty. As a 78-year-old fitness instructor, I decided it was time to stop reading about creatine and start testing it myself. In this first episode of my creatine journey, I'll explain why I started taking creatine, what the research says, and why so many experts believe resistance training, protein, and creatine may help us stay stronger and more active as we age. I'll also share a remarkable 60+ achiever story, demonstrate the 5BX60 fitness program originally developed for Air Force pilots, and show this week's elective exercise: the Standing Dumbbell Row. Next week, I'll reveal what happened after several months on creatine and why it got my attention on the pickleball court. Visit 5BX60.com for free resources, exercise charts, and more information.
