I bor- rowed some information which I am going to share with you, from a book entitled "Don't Take It Easy:, Fitness for the Older Adult". "An active lifestyle cannot guarantee a longer life or freedom from disease. It does ensure a more vigorous, enjoyable lifestyle and in the event of illness or surgery, a better chance of survival and the best possible recovery". Here are 10 good rea- sons to join active seniors: (1) More efficient blood circula- tion and breathing; improved mus- cle function; (2) Improved digestion; less con- stipation; (3) Stronger bones; more supple joints; (4) Attractive appearance and control of body weight; (5) More energy and pep; (6) Increased confidence and well-being; (7) Opportunities for socializa- tion and friendship; (8) Improved mobility; less chance of falls or accidents; (9) Continuing independence; (10) Increased fun and enjoy- ment.
