I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with Jim Owen, a Texan and Author of Just Move. Jim contacted me two years ago to set up a training session while he was visiting from Austin. He was in the process of writing his book, which talked about fitness over 50. Jim was 75 years young and was in AMAZING shape. I put him through a difficult workout and I was very impressed with his strength and conditioning. He told me he was in the process of writing his book and wanted to meet with different trainers across the country to see how they would train someone over 50. We had a fantastic time during his session and even ended with a push-up contest. I guess I was cheating a bit considering I did it at the end of his workout:)
Fast forward two years, Jim reached out to me to come back for another training session. He asked if I could also find a photographer to shoot it. His book, Just Move was complete and hit the #1 Best Sellers list in the Wall Street Journal. Way to go Jim! He is now traveling around to promote it and to also train with trainers all over the country and then feature them on his website. I was honored that he wanted to interview me and have me featured on his site with some of the best trainers around the country.
We had an absolute blast during the shoot and once again Jim wowed me with his strength and conditioning. He is now 77 years young and feels that he is in his best shape yet, I couldn’t argue with that. He did tire flips, sledgehammer, battle ropes, deadlifts, rower, and boxing. He killed his one hour training session and we have some great images thanks to Bryan Black of BlackSwanPhotography. Be sure and check out my interview and the photos at……..
