Movement That Matters: Motivation, Joy, and Wellness at Every Age with Dr. Sabrena Jo

LIVE. LONG. BETTER! The Not Old Better ACE Interview Series

Welcome to LIVE. LONG. BETTER: Live Longer, Age Better, OUR brand-new fitness feature from The Not Old Better Show and the American Council on Exercise. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and I'm honored to be with you today.

You're hearing that familiar intro music, and I hope it brings you right into the space we've created for insight, optimism, and action. Today, we're talking about how to stay physically active—and mentally strong—as we age, and we've got just the guest to guide us.

Joining me is Dr. Sabrena Jo, Senior Director of Science and Education at the American Council on Exercise. Dr. Jo has spent years studying the psychology of movement, with a deep focus on older adults. She'll walk us through the three psychological needs that keep us motivated: autonomy, confidence, and connection. And just as importantly, she'll share how exercise helps combat loneliness, and why being part of a supportive group can make all the difference.

But that's not all—Dr. Jo will also explore something that goes far beyond any single workout: the 6 Pillars of Wellness, and how they work together to help us live longer, and age better. From emotional health to social support, these pillars form a whole-body, whole-life approach to lasting well-being.

It's empowering, science-backed, and full of practical ideas. Let's dive in.
