Exercise Keeps Us Young

Hi, I'm a new member and want to say hello. I'm 78yrs young. I am a firm believer that exercising our bodies and minds keeps us young and vital. I like to walk early in the morning and to workout at a Women's Fitness Center. If I can help encourage others (especially seniors) I will be happy to do so.

Have a great one!

Well, technically, I guess I am a senior. At least AARP keeps bugging me about it! But I don't feel like it. I have always been active and I completely agree that it is the key to staying young and mobil. Keeps us using our minds and bodies with a bit of challenge from day to day.
Many times, with the stresses of life it is harder to be motivated to excercise than it is to actually DO the excercise. Routine, supportive people (like LiveDay1) and interesting activity all play a part in keeping us on task.
I love my LiveDay1 family!
Thanks Bett for starting this group! Or do you prefer Liz?

Candy, You certainly don't look or sound like a senior and it's a long way from our 50s to our 70s, but I think it all has to do with our attitude as well as staying fit. My son is in his 60s, but works out everyday. He does offroad biking, works out in the hospital gym where he works and kyaks (sp?). Oh, BTW, it makes no diff what you call me. I answer to either Liz or Bett. Forgot to keep it the same.
