Use It... Or Lose It!


Wellness Quest for Your Best! Walk, bike, skate, swim, dance, or move another zestful way for 30 minutes today staying well within your fitness comfort zone. If you haven’t been exercising for a while, choose a shorter time period and activity you enjoy doing.

Health Benefits: Aerobic exercise helps build heart strength and efficiency, increases endurance, improves sleep, raises good cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure. Over time, aerobic exercise helps burn excess body fat and reduces risks of diabetes and other diseases including heart disease and certain cancers.

Quote: He who has health has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. Arabian Proverb

Humor: Just think, if you exercise for 1200 months you are guaranteed to live to a hundred! Author Unknown

Post Script: Be safe, check with your fitness specialist or health service before starting any new exercise program, especially if you are out of shape, over 40, or have a medical condition.
