The Secrets to Healthy Aging

What’s up everyone, let me introduce you to our next guest!

Today’s guest, Barrie Street, is an 87 year old fitness enthusiast and teacher who feels 48. Living in North Vancouver he is passionate about being active and helping others.

He has been teaching math for 57 years and was a teacher at my dad’s high school, when he was there. Barry has been involved in coaching soccer, field hockey, cross-country running, cricket and ping pong. He has travelled to countries from ethiopia to costa rica to teach and provide aid. 

If you’ve ever spent time in Vancouver you probably know about the grouse grind, barrie has completed it more than 2000 times. He started running in his 40’s completed triathlons and his first ironman in his 50’s.

Recently barrie gave an excellent ted talk called, Volunteering can transform your life’s journey and plans to be the oldest speaker at Tedx to do exercise on the stage at 90. His website is over50andfit.ca. I hope you enjoy the episode.
