know exercise improves the quality of
life, if not the length and that it can
do a number of good things for you.
For example .... exercise con-
tributes to a positive self-image and
a feeling of well-being; it helps you
cope with the stresses and tensions of
everyday living; your lungs, heart,
and blood vessels will work with
greater efficiency and less strain; ex-
ercise will increase your muscular
tone, strength, and endurance which
leads to improved posture, fewer
back problems, and a better overall
appearance; your joints will be more

ercise can help slow calcium loss
from the bones which leaves them
brittle and weak, an especially
serious problem for women that can
result in fractures of the spine, hip,
and wrist; and last, but not least, ex-
ercise plays an essential role in
weight control by burning calories
and regulating your appetite.
The kind of exercise, as well as the
Frequency, Intensity, and Time
(F.I.T. prescription), should be
geared to your age, physical condi-
tion, and personal preferences. Con-
sultation with a physician may be
disirable especially if you are over 35
years old or have a recognized health
problem. But exercise doesn't have to
excessive and exhausting to be doing
you some good. You can be active in
ways that are enjoyable, satisfying,
and convenient for you. There are a
multitude of choices from badminton
to yoga, from ballet to a walk in the
woods.
In general, two kinds of exercise
are desirable. The first kiind, flexibili-
ty and stretching, involves gently ben-
ding, extending, or rotating your
neck, shoulders, elbows, back, hips,
and ankles. Try to avoid bouncing to
reach your maximum stretch.
Rather, do long, slow stretches to
your maximum, hold the position for
a few seconds and then repeat this a
number of times. The second kind of
exercise is aerobic which improves
the efficency and strength of your
heart, lungs, and other muscles.
Aerobic activities are repeated
rhythmical movements such as brisk
walking, cycling, or swimming. For
maximum benefits, you should par-
ticipate in an aerobic activity 3 to 4
times a week (Frequency), with your
Heart Rate in your Target Heart Rate
zone (200 minus your age (upper
limit ) and 170 minus your age (lower
limit ) i Intensity ), for at least half an
hour each time you exercise (Time).
You can vary your activities to suit
your preferences, your lifestyle, and
your age - a brisk half hour walk one
lunch hour, a jog - walk with your dog
some evenings, and biking or swim-
ming on the weekend. Choose ac-
tivities that suit you!
Your body is built for action. Par-
ticipating in regular physical activi-
ty can he the most important thing
you do for yourself.
