Just as our needs and tastes for food, entertainment, and rest change through each phase of life, so do our needs for physical activity. Always be mindful and see activity as a choice you are making each time you do it. • Low-impact cardiovascular (cardio) workouts will increase stamina, lower blood pressure, and improve heart health. • Maintaining your strength and flexibility are also important. Strong and flexible muscles mean reduced risk of injury as you perform daily tasks and engage in regular exercise. • Muscles burn more calories and keeping your muscles toned means keeping your body lean as you age. • Working with your body weight counts as a weight bearing exercise; important for maintaining bone density as we age. Try yoga, resistance bands, and tai chi. Load up on Vitamin L The L is for Love. Loving relationships help us feel secure in the world, feel connected to others, and even love ourselves more.
