When you do even light resistance training for women, you will strengthen muscles, improve bone strength, and keep your body toned and younger.  If you have excess weight that you’re tired of carrying around, an investment in a treadmill could help get those extra pounds off in a short amount of time. A treadmill in your home will allow you to walk even if it’s snowing outside, raining or stifling hot.  Now there’s no excuse for not getting those pounds off and increasing your blood circulation. Walking consistently also helps keep muscles flexible and in motion.

Warm up exercises such as stretching is especially important to avoid having sore muscles. Also when starting resistance training exercises, start with lighter weights.  You can add heavier weights as your body becomes accustomed to repetitive exercises.

Your larger muscles such as those around your butt and your legs are a good place to start.  Doing lots of stretches, then adding squats and lunges will help your body anti-age comfortably and effectively.  The Chinese say that the first thing to go as you age are your legs.
For healthy aging and a younger body, you don’t need to be a body building enthusiast, just consistent stretching and some hand weights. Staying active not only improves your energy, but helps keep your body well toned and strong.

Put Stretching Near The Top Of Your Anti-Aging Program

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

iStock_000008164856XSmallWhy do stretching? Off the cuff, it sounds boring and uneventful, but the truth is that if you stretch regularly, you’ll be able to stay younger longer. When you flex your muscles with simple motions, it can have many benefits.

Stretching is easy to do and requires about ten minutes. As you stretch more, the length of tendons and muscles increases and you’ll become more fit.

As your range of movement improves, your lifestyle performance gets better.  You’ll now be able to zip the dress yourself or reach that item on the top shelf.   When your muscles and tendons are well flexed, you won’t experience soreness when you do an exercise out of the ordinary for you.

You will notice after a period of stretching that you have more energy and are not only capable of doing more things, but you actually enjoy new activities.  Now you won’t sit through your favorite song at the dance, you’ll be out there enjoying yourself.

Incorporating stretching into your daily routine will prevent injury to joints, tendons and muscles when you’re doing a more exhausting activity.  Your lifestyle will expand, you’ll feel better, live younger longer and stretching compliments your anti-aging program.

Happy Valentine’s Day,
