Welcome to the home page of ActivelyFitSeniors, a blog for us older citizens.
A little background on me, Danny O’Dell, just in case you may be interested in my qualifications in the health and fitness arena. I have a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, Political science, and Psychology. My master’s degree is in Psychology and Counseling.
I have exercised for most of my life, competed in powerlifting for over eight years, trained a number of World, National, and State record holders, worked with the young (eight to 14), teenagers, a collegiate division one athlete, the son of one of my friends, the adults and seniors, such as myself.
The oldest was eighty-eight years old. Incidentally, she set World, National, and State records in both the bench press and deadlift.
It must be noted, that I retired this year, 2024, from the NSCA and my strength coaching position in one of our local school districts.
For twenty years I was a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS*D).
Many of those years as a CSCS *D. The *D on my credential shows I had recertified with distinction representing four more CEUs than the normal CSCS of 6 CEUs during my many years with this accreditation.
Having lived the life of staying healthy, it just may be possible that my background will help others achieve a higher quality of life.
