At age 72, Stephen Jepson<\/a> is living proof of his philosophy of lifetime fitness called Never Leave the Playground.\u00a0 Become smarter & sharper now.\u00a0\u00a0 He rides a unicycle, juggles while balancing on a bongo board, throws knives and plays jacks with both hands, walks a tightrope and more. He knows the secret is to \u201cjust keep moving\u201d through constant play, not exercise. He\u2019s developed toys for all ages and degrees of physical fitness to use throughout our daily lives so we never have to leave the playground no matter where we are or what we\u2019re doing.\u00a0 Playing in physical ways like this not only keeps muscles and bones strong, it grows brain cells, paves neural pathways, increases balance and coordination, cause you to be more creative, cause you to be more excited about life, improves your memory.\u00a0 Here –> is an interesting, fun video of him<\/a> at his home. No matter how impaired the body has become through neglect or disease or aging, consistent movement is imperative to regain and maintain balance, stability, coordination and growth. He calls it \u201cage proofing the brain and body,\u201d and it can begin at any age or any condition of the body.<\/p>\n
