Imagine the benefits of finding an exercise and fitness plan that matched your lifestyle and risk factors. Exercise Helps Reduce and Prevent Illness At every age, from young child to senior citizen, people should be exercising. Whether you’re healthy or have a medical condition, getting exercise is important. Exercise is possible for everyone, at some level, regardless of health problems. The American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of moderately intense exercise as a way to avoid chronic disease. A heart-healthy lifestyle should include cardiovascular exercise—to improve circulation, keep the heart pumping and blood flowing. Exercise revs up the metabolism and helps to control weight gain. Our bodies change with age, slowing down and bringing about a natural weight gain. Exercise helps us combat that. Exercise improves balance, flexibility and builds muscle. Strong, flexible bodies help us move with more ease and confidence. Exercise, as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes proper nutrition, gives us more energy, helps with sleep patterns and elevates our moods.
