Exercise is essential, whether using your own body weight or stepping it up a bit by using more resistance, so to speak. I'm referring to the use of weights/dumbbells.

Once your doctor approves weight lifting for you, there is no need to delay. Weight lifting:

• Improves bone density

• Fights fat; (How? Lean muscle mass decreases with age, if you don't add strength training to your routine then 'fat happens').

• Lowers the risk of diabetes

• Improves heart health

• Helps to prevent/reduce back pain

• Improves balance

Instead of remaining the same, why not try to improve?

Be a better you!
