Speed - kids do it naturally...just look at any playground! They run, jump and most of all have great balance. So why as #seniors do we forget what came so effortlessly when younger? Why does our balance suffer and, inversely, our fear of falling increase? http://bit.ly/kidsdoitnaturally
There is inspiration all around you! Just look at #JaneFonda. She is #80 years old, yet she #exercisesdaily, and looks like she is 60!
Rather than just contemplating the ifs ands or buts, just get out there and start exercising and see/feel the results for yourself!

How can we reduce or limit those ominous #healthcosts?
Illness is part of life, but so is staying healthy.
When we drive a car, we perform cautiously, knowing full well the consequences of careless behavior. It is the same with our health. http://bit.ly/seniorfinancialresponsibility
Life is difficult and stressful, yet simultaneously can be both meditative and instructional. Age old disciplines like Yoga and Tai Chi emphasize the tremendous health benefits of proper breathing and controlled movement, permitting the promotion of balance control, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and mental health. Simple controlled movements with deep breathing can bring a peaceful state to the most stressful situations and can dramatically assist those suffering from strokes, Parkinson’s, MS and dementia. http://bit.ly/2Q2sITS
We are what we absorb, using memories to shape our personalities and reactions to life. Without those #memories, we become a mere shell of a building; if there are no floors, there is no internal structure.
As #Alzheimer’s disease dramatically demonstrates, those who lose memories become a mere memory themselves.
This is an existential fear that we have.
Our muscles have memory and want to reclaim their lost strength and speed. And our neural pathways want to be more efficient. Exercises that stress your brain and muscles will bear wondrous results. The utilization of the C.A.R. technique (concentration, association, and repetition) and other helpful aids will help in memory recall and the occasional mispronunciations. http://bit.ly/remembering-memories
Proper form: it's like a moving refrigerator. If you have proper form, you can lift something like a refrigerator!
Proper weight training will result in greater strength, definition, muscle mass and balance. To attain those ends will always depend on the utilization of proper exercise form and breathing rather than on contortion and brute strength. http://bit.ly/2K74HEP
