Sedentary and
inactive lives may lead to a condition known as muscle atrophy.
It does not matter how young or old one is. The more inactive
a person is, the more apt they are to lose muscles in the spine
and abdomen. Muscle atrophy may impact digestion, elimination
and hinder the ability to perform daily tasks.
Use the following activity
tactics to get your body in gear:
Twenties Bike riding, roller
blading or even aerobic exercise can all wake the body up. Perform
activities that get the heart pumping for a minimum of 20 minutes
a day. Although, the exercise can be performed in an hour, it
may burn out the body if you go from sedentary to hour spans
of exercise. A good fitness program can rotate cardiovascular
exercise on one day and then do weight training on the alternated
days. (People who are overweight or obese should obtain a stress
test before starting a new fitness program).
Thirties Forties - Stay on
course with the exercise regimen from the twenties; however,
be mindful of injuries. Aches, pains and soreness identify the
need for medical attention. (For people over the age of forty
who are starting a new work-out program, a physical check-up
is necessary).
Fifties- Sixties - Inactivity
between the ages of 50 60 can heighten the vulnerability of
many chronic diseases: diabetes, high blood pressure, and high
cholesterol. As a result, a group exercise program is a good
way to socialize and keep you motivated to keep the body in
motion.
Seventies

maintained. The best exercises to include in your regimen require
balance and strengthening the muscles. Yoga, Tai Chi other
martial arts are perfect for easing pressure on the joints and
tendons.
