Aging is inevitable - but how well you age is up to 

you. The vast majority of adults in middle age find

that staying in shape is not as easy as it used to

be. Over the years, we often develop a variety of

problems such as arthritis, as well as back, neck,

knee, hip and foot issues that set us back in our

ability to stay fit.

As we age our bodies become tighter and less

flexible. If we’re not careful in our own exercise

routines we may set ourselves up for further injury.

From core and balance to lower and upper body

workouts  certified trainers can develop

a program to help you safely achieve your best

possible level of fitness. A mix of stretching, light

cardio and resistance training will make you feel

energized.

• Exercise protects joint degeneration by keeping cartilage healthy and strengthening muscles. In addition, activities that improve flexibility, aid in relieving stiffness by improving the joint’s range of motion.

• Strengthen your immunity. Those who exercise regularly tend to be sick less often than those who are inactive. Research has shown that exercise stimulates an increase in natural killer cells and white blood cells, both of which help fight infection.

• If you are stressed: exercise has been shown to improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure and reduce stress.

• Releases endorphins and hormones which can help improve mood.

• Exercise improves the quality of sleep, enabling you to have more energy during the day.

• Decrease your risk of metabolic syndrome by participating in at least 20–30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
