The truth is that most adults can safely do some form of exercise. Even routine household chores can improve your health. Regular structured exercise and physical activity can help prevent coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, depression and some cancers. When you exercise, you look better and feel better. Don't think of exercise as drudgery.
Exercise can be fun.
Make a date with your spouse to go dancing every Friday night. Go for a hike with your child or grandchild. Take a walk with your neighbor and catch up on the latest news. It's never too late to start. Even if you've never exercised before in your life, you can gain health benefits from starting an exercise program.
