Investing Time in Exercising

Time exercising is essential for your well-being.
Exercise is what keeps you well oiled throughout your entire life.
If you cease to exercise, you give your body the chance to stiffen, become unreliable and fall apart.

Continued exercise keeps your body limber enough so that you'll be moving and grooving for years to come!

But really, what does all this running do for YOU anyway?

Here's to name just a few...
Running...

  • keeps you sharp and attentive.
  • is good for your complexion and keeps you looking young and beautiful.
  • soothes you sole, takes away stress and relaxes your life.
  •  keeps your weight in control.
  • is good for your sex life.
  • is good for your heart.
  • is good for your blood pressure.
  • gives you stronger bones, joints and (of course) muscles.
  • has you craving healthier foods.
  • makes you more mindful of life.
  • makes you more sociable.
  • makes you feel happier.
  • makes you feel more comfortable.
  • has you always outdoor and playing.

Investing time in exercising is not something you need to ponder!
Look at just a few of these benefits, if you've thought about running start today.
If you are already doing it...
Aren't you glad you're doing it?

  11. I used to run, but my knees can't really take it any more. I lift now, that's what I enjoy and I do it because I really like it. I also walk my dog 6 miles/day, because he is a big dog that needs a lot of exercise. If I don't move my body, I am not as happy.

  16. Yes you are right Norma, the older you are the harder it can be. If you start with a very gentle program that has respect for the body and it's changes it can be a wonderful way to get in shape. It's also advisable to get a check before hand to make sure you're in good health to start. Thank you!
