The Anne Miriam Boerstler Foundation was founded in 2004 by Dr. Heidi Boerstler, Dr. P.H., JD. Heidi is Professor of Public Health, Law and Transformational Leadership at the University of Colorado, and a nationally recognized expert in health and fitness for those age fifty and older and for the disabled, with degrees from Northwestern University and Yale University. The Anne Miriam Boerstler Foundation is named after Heidi's beautiful daughter, Miriam . We have as our mission and purpose to improve lives through fitness for those age fifty and older and for the disabled.

ABOUT HEIDI

Heidi Boerstler is a role model for all of us, whatever our age. She is 55 years old and has been staying fit for over 35 years, first as a nationally ranked masters swimmer, and most recently as a fitness competitor, winning the Colorado state masters fitness title four consecutive years and competing successfully at the national level, often against women half her age.

In addition to her academic activities, Heidi also teached yoga and fitness to the disabled and at homeless shelters.

She is a breast cancer survivor

Heidi believes that staying fit for life can be really fun; the key is finhding seomething that makes you feel good and then going for it. We want to help those fifty and older and the disabled find fun ways to do just that.

Heidi believes that a key part of fitness is having an experimental attitude - a willingness to have fun trying something new and differente, no matter your age, no matter your fitness level, no matter your disability.......an ability to laugh at yourself, to have fun being a beginner

Her goal is to help those age fifty and older and the disabled find fun ways to do just that....to support your fitness goals. This is why she recently made her first in a series of videos .......Having Fun and Staying Fit for Those of Us Age Fifty and Older......soon to be out is her video entitled Having Fun and Staying Fit for Those of Us with Disabilities.

Heidi and all of us at the Anne Miriam Boerstler Foundation hope that you will join us in our mission to improve lives through fitness for those age fifty and older and fitness for the disabled.
