Exercise can be boring, repetitious, difficult to maintain and commit to for the long run. In recent years, the trampoline has become extremely popular. Mostly, people purchase trampolines for their children as an outside activity. They can be large, bulky and an eyesore in your yard, but now there is a whole new chapter for this product. The mini trampoline, or rebounder, is absolutely amazing and a full body workout. It can fit anywhere in your home because it is only 40 inches round and some are even foldable for easy storage. You can also take them with you as most fold up and fit into a travel bag and some even come with a stabilizer bar for balance. The mini trampoline is truly one of the best...

Is your age making it harder to get to the gym? Or do things like arthritis, bad knees, a bad back, or a 'clicking' noise in a joint prevent you from exercising regularly? These are among the most popular phrases I hear about why someone "can't" exercise. The reality is these are the folks that need to exercise the most! This is actually an excuse as to why someone won't exercise, not a reason why they can't. Exercise does so much good for the body; it simply blows my mind to know that so many people do not do it, or do not do it consistently enough. Personally, I do not consider myself to be an exercise freak, but I do understand and enjoy all the benefits of exercise which motivates me to be...

Health wise, I was going strong into my early 50s. Lifting weights, running a 10 K every other day, I was feeling and looking good. Then one day after running, I found I could hardly walk. This did not come on all of a sudden, but gradually. I had ignored the early symptoms, but when it got to this point, I went to the doctor. The doctor took several x-rays of my feet, knees, and other joints. The diagnosis he concluded, was arthritis. Well that ended my running days. So what was I to do to keep with my cardiovascular exercises. The weights I lifted did not bother me, for lifting with my upper body and lower body did not affect me. I just could not do the cardiovascular exercises I was used to do. I...

Let's face it. Very few people of any age get enough exercise. That's why we have such an obesity epidemic in this country and many other parts of the world. As we get into our 50's and 60's we are pretty much set in our ways and our bodies are a reflection of that. Some stay fairly fit and trim their entire lives, and others just let it go. I believe that there is very little empirical evidence that those who stay fit and trim live a lot longer. But I'm convinced that they stay more active and enjoy more of their later years than those who haven't made any effort to stay in shape. Well, round IS a shape. Anyway, if you have not done much in the way of exercise for many years and you have a...

It's important for older adults and seniors to stay active, healthy and in shape. The following are four types of exercises recommended to help seniors do just that. 1. Strength Exercises will build muscle as well as increase your metabolism, which will help keep your weight and blood sugar in check. Two very important things!

Is your age making it harder to get to the gym?  Or do things like arthritis, bad knees, a bad back, or a 'clicking' noise in a joint prevent you from exercising regularly? "You're young, you just don't understand what it's like to be old!  My knees hurt, my back hurts and there is no way I can do that."

Seniors who walk just 30 minutes each day can lower their risk of obesity and increase their life expectancy. In addition, seniors...

However, if your nutritional intake does not increase along with the increase in exercise, the results of your workout will decrease significantly and your body will stop operating at its optimum level.

We've all seen the advertisements, from the It Does A Body Good commercials to the Got Milk? campaign. It's been drilled into our heads, over and over again, that milk is absolutely essential to the body. If you're young, you need the protein, vitamins, and minerals for growth.

So how are you doing in getting what you need? If you're like most women, you're still falling short on this critical nutrient. Studies show on average American women get only about half the recommended amount. We're supposed to be getting 1000 to 1200 milligrams (mg) a day; we average around 600 mg. And that's why, in survey results released this week, nearly 98% of the nation's...
