THE REALITY IS THAT AFTER 40 THE BODY STARTS TO AGE. THE GOOD NEWS IS, YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
If you are approaching or over the age of 40 and you have left excercising on your lifes ‘To Do’ list, it’s time to get serious about your health or you might lose it! After 40, physiological changes start to happen including loss of muscles mass, bone density reduces, the metabolism starts to slow down and we are at greater risk of illness, disease and other ailments.
YOU CAN FEEL BETTER AT 50 THEN YOU DID AT 20!
It’s true that we are aging younger than ever before and with the help of modern technology and advanced education, we have added an additional 10, 20 or more years of life. A large body of scientific evidence supports this fact and in addition, suggests that we can actually reverse the aging process. Another interesting study showed that while age-related muscle deterioration is always present, that men and women well into their 80’s have the same ability as an 18 year old to build muscle and reduce fat. The antidote is simple: plenty of rest, a healthy diet, limited stress, and regular exercise.
By getting involved with our WINTER 2012 Power Walking and Learn 2 Run programs you can start your own personal journey to a longer, healthier, younger life!
