We Do Not Need to Age
You do not have to lose muscle mass, develop aches and pains, lose mobility or become a victim of heart disease, adult onset diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure or many other diseases.
There is a solution to all of the ills we associate with old age.
It is called exercise.
The average adult loses 3kg of lean muscle tissue every 10 years.
This is not part of the natural aging process.
From their mid 40's most people spend 80% of their waking time seated.
Our bodies are deigned to be used and the more use they get, the better they function.
We are not machines.
Machines wear out over time and are damaged by constant use.
We grow stronger with constant use.
We replace damaged cells every day.
We need to use our bodies to maintain our health and fitness.
Even if you never exercise, it is never too late to start.
If you are unaccustomed to exercise, you will need to start slowly and build up to a healthy amount of daily exercise.
It is wise to check in with your doctor to lean of any specific problems you may encounter but it is important to get started now.
If you are a regular exerciser, good for you! Do not give up, as you get older.
Perhaps consult a trainer about the best type of exercise for you.
As you age, you will need to concentrate on muscle building exercises.
These are things like weight lifting and weight bearing exercises.
They are important because the more muscle mass you have the more efficiently your body works.
Do not think weight lifting is just for weight lifters in competition.
It is perfect for just about everybody.
The difference is that the regular person does not take things to the extreme.
In fact, everyone looks better with a nice layer of muscle under his or her skin.
It helps to shape our bodies as well as support our bones and insides.
The best way to get fit is to get a trainer and do it with supervision until you know what works for you.
If you do not feel comfortable going to a gym or contacting a trainer, just get out a start walking.
A brisk walk for thirty minutes a day is a good start.
Once you see how great you feel you will want to explore the world of fitness.
It is never too late to get started but the longer you leave it the harder it will be.
Get out today and begin the rest of your life.
