You had a tough week managing everyone and everything which sent your stress levels into orbit. Now it’s time to effectively restore your energy sources, mind and body. The body is no different from any other machine that needs maintenance and repair. If all you do is take from your body and forget to replenish, you will deplete yourself. The body may not necessarily be fatigued but your mind may be.
Find someone special and go for a walk on the beach or just do something that will make you feel whole again. If your goal is to stay healthy this a must.
Our ability to stand erect as we get older will require that we build stronger bones. Think of bones as the structure or frame of your house. If the structure is weak your house may collapse.
To maintain good posture, stand tall, walk briskly and slow the age related decrease in height, it is critical that we build bone strength on a regular basis. One of the best exercises to preserve and build bone strength is walking. If you are a regular walker and your fitness level is above average it is a good idea to add strength building or weight lifting exercises to your routine.
Some of the best exercises for you to do would be barbell squats, deadlifts, barbell rows or leg presses if you are a beginner. These types of exercises would utilize the largest muscles and bones in your body maximizing your results.
If you are not familiar with working out with barbells (free weights) please get some instructions from a knowledgeable professional. Always use common sense when training to prevent injury. Do not push to the limit if you are just starting out.
