Reasons...

If you watch TV or read, you know what a terrible state of health we Americans are in. The sad thing about it is that it is almost totally self induced. Our fast food diet, sedentary lifestyles and Western philosophy of medicine (treat the symptoms--a pill for everything) just to name a few. What has to happen before we wake up?! Our body is supposed to be our temple and just look at how we treat it. We don't give it proper nutrition, don't exercise our body or our minds, don't get enough sleep, put drugs in it (Prescription drugs are at the top of the list!), drink too much alcohol, smoke... Need I say more? It is no wonder we are in the shape we are in! If we don't take care of bodies, they WILL fail us--health problems, disease, joint/body aches and pains... It is just a matter of time before it happens--WHEN not IF. Exercise is a component of good health, especially as we age.

Here are just a few more reasons to get started with an exercise program today. Exercise will help you:

-sleep better
-lose, gain, or maintain weight, depending on your needs
-improve your resistance to fight infections
-lower your risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes
-help your brain work better, making you smarter

The key is to find a program and stick to it. Change your body, change your life. Start today!
