"Be Good to Yourself by Exercising for Health."
IrongeezerSays: It doesn't take a lot of hard work to enjoy the benefits of improving your health through light exercise. Improvements such as better cardiovascular health and maintaining proper weight are just a couple of the better known health benefits of daily exercise; the list is endless.
More than 50% of the U. S. population does not get enough physical activity to provide the health benefits of being active. A very large percent of older Americans do not even spend 20 minutes a day outdoors. Think about that! Get your neighbors out of doors.
To be active for health does not take money or hard work, it only takes commitment.
If you haven't been active and want to start, start out slowly and don't overdo it. Perhaps you could join in with others and participate in the physical activities that you enjoyed as a child. Some fun ways to exercise for health include dancing, swimming, biking, walking, jogging, gardening, triathlon, and hiking.
And as always, check with your health care provider before starting any new activity or increasing your present activity. Tell your doctor that you want to have fun being good to yourself by "exercising for health." Ask what he/she suggests for you? Please visit us at www.irongeezer.com for free healthy lifestyle tips.

Posted 9:24 pm June 22nd, 2008I completely agree about exercise. I also found a product from fitandsharp.com that has been so helpful. I bought their bike shorts and leggings and I have lost 2 inches from my hips in under 30 days. I highly recommend having something to keep your motivated while exercising and these undergarments have definitely boosted my motivation to keep at it. They are more than body slimmers. They have been proven to actively reduce fat.

Posted 5:04 pm April 10th, 2008A lot of us need a little prodding when our "get-up-and go" "got up and went"! I saw a story in the Sentinel about a Stanford study that used a Robo-Coach to make calls to remind older folks to exercise. They said these calls were as effective as getting a call from an actual personal trainer.
That's very good news, because my company offers just such an automated service at http://www.ontimerx.com/mobile/index.php
You can get 30 Minutes of reminders Free to try the automated "Text-to-Speech" messages. The subscription plans run from $10 - $30/month, depending on the number of calls you need per day.
I get one call every M-W-F at 4PM that tells me: "Get up and go to the "Y". Let's hustle and build some muscle!"
Believe it or not, this message is goofy enough to actually make me smile, so I get up and go do it.
Try it yourself. What have you got to lose, but maybe a few pounds - like me!
