August Quote of the Month

"We do not stop exercising because we grow old, we grow old because we stop exercising." - Dr. Kenneth Cooper

If only everyone would recognize the level of truth in this statement.  Research proves that those who take care of their bodies live a longer and healthier life.  Our bodies are vessels that need tender care.  When we don’t give it the needed care by having a poor diet and getting little or no exercise, then we aren’t caring for our vessels properly.  I am always encouraged to see reports of seniors in great shape and to meet seniors in great shape.  This always brings the reality to my mind that at my age, there is no reason I can’t work out and eat healthy.  So if you need to be motivated to start your fitness journey, then take a look at the video below and see how out of shape you are compared to this 74 year old woman.  Then use that as fuel not only to get you going, but to keep you motivated to improve your quality of life by taking care of the vessel you have been blessed with!
