Being fit and healthy is a good policy. It should always be a part of your nature and make up. You should give it your utmost attention. You can maintain and take care of your body by giving attention to it by starting some exercise activity. Being fit involves any physical activity that involves the use of various muscle groups in a regular and consistent manner. Some of the usual exercise options are walking, jogging, bike riding, aerobics, swimming,rowing, and treadmill use. The benefits of fitness exercise can be:

To make these fitness and health improvements by exercising it is best to start in increments. Do 15 minutes to start then 20 minutes and so on. The best time is in the 30-45 minute time element range. You should start to do it at least 3-5 time a week or the best being daily. It can become a "good " addictive behavior.It will become habitual and you will want to do exercise all the time.. If the exercise is for weight loss it has to be done at least 3-5 times a week with a deliberate diet program. The more times you do it the more weight yor are likely to lose. This is because you are becoming more regular and consistent. You can start right now. Start walking,ride your bike around the neighborhood, downtown, or thru the nearest park. Start using the treadmill at the gym, or maybe you have invested in one for the home. Go slow at first then increase your pace slowly to build up your stamina. Set some goals, gradually at first, then faster at your pace.Write the start of each activity and keep notes on your progress.

As you increase in your exercise activities, your intensity and enthusiasm will increase. You should vary your exercise and always strive for room for improvement. As you are doing your exercise programs no matter what you chose you need to increase in small increments such as 5 minutes then 10, and so forth. My exercise program as a senior citizen is doing power walking. I started slowly at first from 15 minutes and now consistenty l do at least 30- 45 minutes 5 days a week. I feel great and I need to keep on doing what I am doing for more optimum weight loss results.

After you have accomplished doing these exercises it becomes part of your inner system of well being. You can now interact with outside nature,the birds,butteflies, fresh air, and it will open up a whole new world for you. It also can encourage common interests with other people,such as establishing new friends neighbors and buddies.

In summary take care of the gift of your body no matter how old you are. Start now and work on an exercise that you can do and relate to. Accept it as a challenge. Keep in mind that you have developed "old habits" that need to be changed and it may be tough at first.once you have developed a new "consistency and stick-to-itiveness" you will become a new and different person. You will never be the same. You will start to benefit what you have reaped. You are on your way to health, fitness, and a well being you so deserve and you will be happy with yourself and others.
