Stereotypes about the elderly are so prevalent that elders
themselves often buy into them. People young and old assume that
retirement is a time of inactivity, less social involvement, and
inevitable physical decline. For over nine decades Dr Irwin M Korr
was a living refutation of that dreary stereotype. Through a
holistic approach to health, based on the principles of osteopathic
medicine, he proved that healthy, vigorous, fulfilling old age and
long life are the natural culmination of healthy living. In his
eighties, Dr Korr was regularly playing tennis and cross-county
skiing, while continuing his career as a medical educator,
researcher, author, and lecturer.In this inspiring guide to
achieving a healthy lifestyle at any time of life, Dr Korr explains
with enthusiasm and great clarity how any reader can apply
scientifically based osteopathic principles to improve quality of
life and promote successful ageing. Among the principles he
stresses is that the human body incorporates its own healing and
defensive systems, as well as a health maintenance system. Together
they form an indwelling healthcare system that is the ultimate
source of health and for which each individual must take primary
responsibility. By learning to develop healthy habits, we take care
of the 'physician within' to ensure that our inner physician can
then take care of us. Dr Korr also emphasises the importance of
regular exercise and the beneficial effects that freedom of motion
and physical activity bring, not only on our musculoskeletal system
but also for our various internal organs, as well as our state of
mind.He recommends stretching exercises such as Yoga and whatever
workout routine an individual finds enjoyable, from walking to
jogging, swimming, and bicycling. Finally, he makes the point that
healthy ageing is a choice that anyone can make at any time of life
by making beneficial lifestyle changes.

The ancient Greeks trained in the nude in the gymnasium and also competed in the buff in the Olympic Games – they literally had skin in the game. The ancient Greek word for gymnasium – gumnasia – means to train naked. However, the ancient Greek gyms were not just for physical training but also had dedicated spaces for intellectual exercise, for philosophy, teaching and conversation.
To train naked is to show up just as you are – no pretences, no masks, no BS. We train to compete, we practise in order to nail a presentation. We should also be training to become better human beings, to craft meaningful lives, do work that matters, and to thrive in chaos. Pierre du Plessis’s daily reflections, meditations and practices presented in this book are a call to train naked, to practise for the ultimate marathon, and to have skin in the game.
Train Naked is a curated selection of short reflections – prompts to get skin in the game – on building a meaningful life and doing work that matters. Combined with a selection of ancient practices, such as meditation, Pierre’s thoughts and ideas aim to inspire each reader to take charge, to try, to act, to learn and to do.
