The benefits are significant:
1. A minimum of 30 min. of aerobic exercise a day combined with three 20 min. strength-building workouts per week will improve your overall strength, health and well being.
2. Daily exercise can actually help your body become stronger so that fighting off illness seems to be easier.
3. With daily exercise you can in fact improve your muscle mass by regularly doing strength building workouts.
4. Exercise reduces stress, which in turn also reduces risk of injury, or illness brought on or caused by stress.
5. Daily exercise will also improve your sleep and everyone knows a good nights sleep is important at any age!
Strength workouts can be done using easy lifts and presses to utilize your own body weight, and you can walk, jog, run, bicycle or use machines to get that quick aerobic workout every day. Add thirty minutes a day to your life by setting that alarm clock just a half hour earlier, and add years to your expected lifespan by staying fit!
