Little Known Truths About Senior
Exercise and Health
One of the myths of
aging is that as we move toward middle age it's inevitable that we begin the
slippery slide toward decrepitude.
It doesn’t have to
be so. Many myths of senior
exercise and health including “middle aged spread”, shortness of breath,
forgetfulness and loss of strength, are brought on, to a large degree, by

You have the power to turn back the hands on your biological clock and restore
your health, energy and vitality.
