David Frost Master Fitness Trainer

On any day which ends in a “y” Koach Dave Frost can be found training others, teaching learners of all ages, Moving to sweat, or doing charitable work for both wounded warriors and under-served youth.

For his R&R, Dave enjoys the Vitamin D offered by Southern California weather while rowing competitively or trail-hiking, serving as Grandpa Frosty, or sharing sea stories with his service pals and US Naval Academy alumni.

He also writes academic papers about 21st-century workplaces and knowledge workers as those most valuable players.

Koach Dave wrote KABOOMER: Thriving and Striving into your 90s for a serious and committed subset of Baby Boomers, keying on his personal experiences and professional expertise. He is a Master Fitness Trainer, an award-winning adjunct professor, a proud grandfather, a world-ranked oarsman, and a communications expert. Many moons ago, he was an Eagle Scout, a 5-gallon Blood Donor, an Outstanding College Athlete of America (1975), and a decorated naval officer in Cold War days.

Yes, he is a mid-cycle Baby Boomer. But more, he chooses to do those “little bits extra” to better his chances to party past 90. This book is his “talk the walk” almanac to help many others on their own journeys past Medicare age.

Be a KABOOMER too!

Springtime Tocsins

AI Spellcheck Wait, …

AI Spellcheck Wait, wait… I didn’t use ChatGPT or Google’s BARD to “genAIrate” this post. I promise. And, I didn’t misspell Tocsins in this posted title. Credit Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pretty neat for many applications, and I am a cheerleader for things that serve society. Yet, it will be many moons before a down-aging AI application is ready for you or me. So here we go with my run-of-the-mill intelligence warnings. Tocsins As I’m not an English Ph.D. or a cunning linguist, I can’t say for certain that Tocsins and Toxins are homonyms or homophones. Words can be fun a…

Jabroni, Magic Mike, and the Game around Rihanna’s halftime show

The slang noun, Jabr…

The slang noun, Jabroni, expanded beyond its original use in professional wrestling to social media after the AFC Championship football game. We credit the Sheik and the Rock for their roles in getting this interesting noun into the dictionary: A few weeks ago, the KC Chiefs’ Travis Kelce challenged the Cincinnati mayor for his rather uppity comment. Kelce tweeted, “Don’t be a Jabroni”; Not endearing, but still utilitarian… You see, a Jabroni is a recruited underdog that cannot prevail against a superior force. Think of the also-ran team recruited to face the Harlem Globetrotters in…

Yes, I have been missing in action since late 2022. Oh, that my time away was spent on some enchanted island. Yet I have been head down and tail up finalizing my manuscript for Strong to Save. This second non-fiction work is a fitness primer that implores Gen X to die harder and later… You see, resistance (aka weight) training is a superlative down-aging and life-enhancing exercise. Period. A conceptual front cover for Strong to Save: Your Gen X imperative to die harder and later is shared to get your sarcomeres flexing. Now, it is about time to chat about Pizza and National Heart Mon…

Yes, I’ve been missing in action from weblogs. If I was still a Naval Academy Midshipman, I’d brace up and say NO EXCUSE Ma’am or Sir! Yet that was many moons ago. My STRONG TO SAVE manuscript took precedence. So Generation X readers – be on the lookout fgr a Book release in mid-2023. Why did I choose the main Title STRONG to SAVE? And why will the sub-title focus on Generation X? There are three reasons for my title’s choice: I used to sing Eternal Father, Strong to SAVE as a venerable hymn for seafarers like me. There is just about nothing as important as Physical Strength to …

Twenty-eight summers left

28 “As is a tale, …

28 “As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.” Seneca Thanks to the Swedish Son of Stone (aka SoS) whose recent lyrics in 28 Summers Left fit me to a T: “Let’s make something great Of what is left now And focus on things That we have got now.” In a Camden interview about his unique rather unique song-writing, SoS confided that a theme of his music is “about the will to get back up again when life knocked you down…” Not a bad theme for life – is it? One longevity study, that I believe to be darned accurate, suggests that with work and…
