Martin Collis has been at the forefront of fitness and healthy living throughout his academic life. His presentation will look at some of the ways that Canadians can live not only long, but well. He'll draw on powerful and persuasive research to demonstrate how to maximize the quality and quantity of our days.

Dr. Collis has a PhD in exercise physiology from Stanford University. He wrote the first North American book on employee fitness and has written books on lifestyle, weight management and walking. He was a leader in the use of pedometers to support daily walking, and was part of the team that created PAR-Q�used worldwide as a screening device for people entering an exercise program. He also co-developed the science of cold-water survival using survival clothing. Dr. Collis was one of the first four Canadians designated a Pioneer of Wellness. He is a long-time coach of swimming and soccer and has recorded three albums of original songs that focus on aspects of living well.

The University of Victoria Retirees Association and the Centre on Aging�with support from the university�presents Masterminds 2014, a free lecture series running each Wednesday evening from April 9 to April 30.
