START TODAY

Performing daily tasks with ease and grace gives us a feeling of confidence and strength. It's never too late, or too soon, to begin an exercise program.
We’ve all heard the statistics about American’s being out of shape. In 2002, 25 percent of adult Americans did not participate in any leisure time physical activities in the past month, and in 2003, 38 percent of students in grades 9 to 12 viewed television 3 or more hours per day.
Your health and wellness are vitally linked to the quality of life you enjoy. Regular exercise makes important contributions to your health, sense of well being, maintenance of a healthy body weight and even chronic pain reduction.
The hardest part of a fitness program is starting one. Working with personal trainers will help you with support and accountability. A trainer will motivate you to stick with a fitness program by setting goals, monitoring your nutrition, and leading you to success.

Check out these guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS (American College of Sport Medicine-ACSM)

· To reduce the risk of chronic disease in adulthood: Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, above usual activity, at work or home on most days of the week.

· For most people, greater health benefits can be obtained by engaging in physical activity of more vigorous intensity or longer duration.

· To help manage body weight and prevent gradual, unhealthy weight in adulthood: Engage in approximately 60 minutes of moderate-to vigorous-intensity activity on most days of the week while not exceeding caloric intake requirements.

· To sustain weight loss in adulthood: Participate in at least 60 to 90 minutes of daily moderate-intensity physical activity while not exceeding caloric intake requirements. Some people may need to consult with a healthcare provider before participating in this level of activity.

· Achieve physical fitness by including cardiovascular conditioning, stretching exercises for flexibility, and resistance exercises or calisthenics for muscle strength and endurance.
