Wednesday, March 12, 2008 There are lots of good reasons to exercise, especially as we age.
Exercise improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis. It strengthens muscles, reduces obesity, improves mobility, and lessens the risk of depression.
And according to recent studies, exercise even can improve brain function.
But just as there are good reasons to exercise, there are plenty of excuses that keep us doing so.
