"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. "
Fitness Tip of the Week:
- Do It Everyday. Commiting to regular exercise everyday has many benefits. This includes enhancing mood, improving energy level, weight control, better sleep, and decreasing risk from hypertension to cardiovascular disease. A 30 minute walk a day yields many benefits, but if your aging loved one can manage 5 minutes a day of fitness and strategic movement, daily efforts will lead to growth over time!
