Encouragement from the net

I watched a 2 minute video by Dr. Pam Pete on the value of strength training as we age. To squat off the bed and do at the knee push-ups give us strength and more important muscle to work, move, defend and even save our lives should we fall. To reach the goals takes as long as six weeks, but we may reach them sooner. I would add crunches and reverse crunches or my sit ups off the bed and a basic workout that comes from your resistant band or on the web. Her is her life saving video. Along with aerobic walking, swimming, or biking you can challenge the decline of aging.

Pervention has a number of workouts to increase fitness and health. Here is a routine that may give you ideas to add to your workouts. Keep in mind the three areas of fitness are aerobics, strength and flexibility. If you are a fitness buff these movements you can do, if you are like me some of them may not be for us. variety is the spice of life.

OK we are getting older, my friend Deb would tell me, "Were getting older, so what, enjoy it." I think she is right. We are made to move and move we must to enjoy our life. Moving can be part of our employment and purpose. Taking a walk or a bunch of mini walks can expand our living. Using our feet to do something we would hop in the car can totally change our experience. Walking in Amish country is totally different than driving a car. Taking a brisk walk to the local grocery market you will notice the slight elavations in the walk that go unnoticed in the car. Plant life and urban nature shows you things that have gone unnoticed. Notice the less water in your lower legs and feet. Feel the mucle tone in your legs and hips. As walking becomes a habit notice your energy level. Do a few minutes of deep breathing before you go to bed and notice a better night sleep. Walking works - keep walking
