A birthday may be considered a subplot in one’s life but there is no doubting it affords real comparative analysis. We can’t help notice how many rob themselves (and their loved ones) of the kind of lifestyle/healthstyle a fellow like Denis affords himself. Now with a crisp number like 75 years young we’re going to rub folks noses in it….for their own good of course.

When Denis turned 65 he rewarded himself with carving out the time and financial commitment to protect his health through strength training. A decade on there has been no looking back. A simple but disciplined attitude towards his physical structure has kept him living like few do even in their 40’s and 50’s.

As his coach I’d sum up his pragmatic attitude about staying strong by just repeating his own words “why wouldn’t you?”. Denis is well aware the challenges life and aging bring but he responds by being naturally prepared to meet and greet life face to face. The birthday boy is a success not because his body remains fit but because he chose not to let it dictate his future. Knowing a good portion of his life history he was never handed anything. Instead he made old fashion good use of what was at hand. There is a fine and life changing distinction there.

So Happy 75th Mr Brisson you have arrived and you have earned it!

Be well, be strong….be like Denis.
