Age Is Not the Issue
It's Never Too Late to Turn Back the Clock
Want to feel better, look better, and experience a longer, more active and more fulfilled life?
Want to have more energy throughout the day and improve the quality of your life?
By working regular, moderate exercise into your daily routine, you can have all of that and more.
Use It or Lose It
Exercise is a crucial component of re-gaining your energy. Recent research has shown that physical deterioration and lack of function associated with aging is largely due to an inactive lifestyle.
We’ve all heard, “Use it or lose it,” and while many of us are “losing” physical function because we don’t exercise, we are also increasing our chances of degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis.
Regular exercise not only gives you a better body shape, but it:
Increases your body’s metabolic rate—you burn more calories even after
you have stopped exercising
Increases your body’s percent of lean muscle versus percent of body fat
Improves your insulin sensitivity
Lowers your cholesterol levels
Lowers your risk of chronic disease
Increases your energy and vitality
Improves your quality of sleep
Reduces stress and tension
Elevates your mood
Increases your mental performance
Start at Your Own Pace and Have Fun. Go for a walk in nature or join the local gym. Choose a satisfying activity—like yoga—that’ll
include all three aspects of fitness: aerobic, strength, and flexibility.
Whatever type of fitness program you create, incorporate what
you enjoy. Have fun in the sun or hike the hills—dive into a deep pool or jog with your dog!
Start the journey, so you can feel the
benefits of being fit—and live a long, healthy life!
