The Perfect Exercise

Healthy living doesn't just happen. It requires information, planning and good products.


As a fitness professional I often hear people say, "I am too old to start exercising." or "I am too out of shape to start exercising." There are a few medical conditions that may stand in the way of starting an exercise program. Too old and/or too out of shape is simply an excuse to remain on the road to a health disaster.  There is no one to old or too out of shape to benefit from some form of exercise. When people say that they are equating exercise with all the huffing and puffing, sweating and groaning people they see pushing themselves to the limits. It they can do that, good for them.  But you don't have to push yourself to the limits to reap health benefits from exercise. There is a very simple exercise, done to some extent by almost everyone, that you can do to improve your health and your weight. It has been called "the perfect exercise." It is walking. Remember when you did that?
