Exercise a Way of Life

EXERCISE

“What????  You want me to exercise?”

Your heart needs to have exercise, of some kind, every day.  If your heart lays dormant, it will not know what to do when a stressful situation arises.  “But, if you work out a little each day, your heart could be ready for that episode that might happen.”  

Regular exercise can help you:

Burn Calories, lower your blood pressure, and fight against heart failure.  Exercise can help with the fight against Alzheimer’s disease to colon cancer to Type II diabetes.  Think of it as Exercise Therapy, not a weight loss program, but a way 
of living. 

“But, I don’t like to exercise.” 

There are many different ways to exercise.  What sounds like fun?  If you cannot run, then walk.  If you can only stretch a little, stretch as much as you can. 


Dancing is a fun way to exercise.   There are all kinds of dancing video’s that can be bought that are not expensive.  Then you are not by yourself and it has the potential to be fun.


If you have a dog, then walk with your dog, your pet will benefit from this as well. Maybe, you can find some walking buddies that also need to be healthy.
Be sure and start out slow and gentle.  Let your body get used to this new routine.  Let your muscles rest after each work out session.  You will soon be on the road to a new healthier lifestyle.  You will find that you can breathe easier, move more gracefully, and not tire so quickly.


“I COULD HAVE FUN EXERCISING” 
I have wanted a change in my life, but, I just wasn’t sure what that could be.  My body is where I live, it should be kept in good shape,  just for me
