Living Well Magazine’s Founder, Josh Cates, asks you to join him in a journey and to be inspired by Living Well’s first Adventure Film “Defining Your Life, ” capturing five “boomer” athletes in their element at the 2012 Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado. These athletes, these people you are about to see, are defining their lives with purpose and priority. They are choosing, each day, to remain healthy, to laugh often, to move with vitality.

The idea of Living Well is an inspiration and idea of doing what we love the most. Be inspired… […]
