COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Aging gracefully - it can be done... After all, they say 60 is the new 40.

And weight training versus cardio - what’s the difference? How do I maintain muscle when my body loses muscles every year?

All of that, in one show!

Now, the hottest thing on the internet these days - intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is not as much about what you’re eating - but when you eat and how long you take between meals. That’s the fasting part. Most folks start with a 12/12 - I can eat during 12 hours. Then I don’t eat anything for the next twelve hours. But, that’s just the beginning for most people who choose intermittent fasting.

Eric Dempsy of Eric Dempsy’s Resolution is a personal trainer and has a solid foundation in teaching intermittent fasting.
