What A Week On The Radio Show!
We’ve had a lot of fun on the FiftyUp Club Radio show this week on 2UE Talking Lifestyle.
Did you know that 7.3 million Australians say they have experienced lower back pain in the past 12 months? Dr Richard Parkinson joined us to talk about how you can protect your back from injury and it can be as easy as moderate exercise, careful lifting and eating well.
Recently an elderly friend of mine was lamenting about how he never got to see his grandchildren. Sadly I think he feels as though the children should always come to him and that a relationship should exist just because he is their grandfather. Author and Parenting expert Maggie Dent joined us with some great tips on how to connect with your grandchildren, particularly if you aren’t computer savvy. Read her tips here
Terry McKenna is 61 and lives in Geraldton, WA. He suffers from Parkinsons Disease but at his wife Leonie’s insistence, he started boxing at his local PCYC with 21 year old trainer Talya Quinn. Terry and Talya shared with our audience how this has changed Terry’s life and now they are looking at rolling out the “Fighting Back” program right across WA!
My co-host Luke and I had great fun reminiscing about old cars from the 70’s…do you remember the Ford GT-HO Phase 111? Every young man wanted one. Back then it was Ford Vs Holden on the roads as well as the race tracks!
We laughed about toys from our childhood, who remembers the slinky? I can recall my 7th birthday when all I wanted for Christmas was a “Chrissy Doll” with retractable hair! Antique expert Rick Milne joined us to talk about what some of these toys would be worth today if you’ve kept one in mint condition!
We’d love you to join us for the show..details on how to listen are below. My favourite segment so far is “Throwback Thursday” where Luke and I get to chose a song from the 70’s and 80’s and you get to vote on which one get’s played in its entirety. I won the first round with Billy Don’t Be A Hero” by Paperlace….
