Claire is a practicing geriatrician who has recently taken to research to try to understand how some older individuals become frail, while others successfully age. She graduated with first class honours from Cambridge University and Bart's and the London Medical School, and spent several years working the acute medicine wards in central London. Finding so many unanswered questions about how we treat, and how we might prevent frailty, she competed for and won a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship to investigate the key to successful ageing within older twins.

About TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    I am not saying this information is rubbish, but my grandmother was a big walker and still suffered from alzheimers. But I am still inspired to resume my beloved swimming. Interesting talk!

    How to embed exercises into daily life? that's tricky questions because we all have our own pattern for doing it. And most of will benefited if we find exercise-buddy who is not our assistant or someone very conscious about exercise but with whom we want to have a walk with, sharing ideas to each-other. Because this time not only we are physically exercising but our mind is releasing dopamine is well. SO OUR REAL WORK IS TO FIND THAT PERSON then WE don't have to remember or discipline our self.

    A good video. Thanks. I should think speed of walking would be important, I remind myself to walk fast.

    My dogs walk me every day, and I appreciate it.and I do think better "on the hoof" while brain blood flow is up, though I always thought of it as oxygen level in the brain being up.

    FWIW Every 2 hrs find an empty conference room at work and do as many burpees as you can- I'm up to 20. It might be harder for ladies obviously but for a guy I've been doing this for years. Full body workout and no one will even notice!

    Amazing content! If you share the interest, a book with similar subject matter is highly recommended. "Dominating Your Clock: Strategies for Professional and Personal Success" by Anthony Rivers
