This is especially true if you are approaching age 50 or have already passed that important milestone in your life!
Research from various university studies suggests that health conscious adults require less Health-care! And spend less on health related expenses!
As we grow older – whether you are nearing 30 or 50, a proactive approach to living a healthful lifestyle gives you your best chance at preserving your vitality. You can enjoy more energy and get more out of life if you exercise, eat healthy, and get plenty of sleep. Accept and adapt to your limitations.
Growing older might slow us down some, but it doesn’t mean giving up the sports and fun activities you love. There are countless ways to stay active and enjoy heart-healthy exercise! Many health enthusiasts find new sports or pastimes to enjoy.
Add some variety to your healthy pursuits. Get that bike out of the garage and go for a spin. Go to a dance this weekend. Grab a friend and find some tennis courts. Walk there! Enjoy the splendid Autumn weather and go for a nice lunchtime walk.
Luckily, we have so many fun ways to get in some exercise and even start getting in shape fast! If weight loss is one of your goals - you can exercise and lose weight fast! Combine daily exercise with healthy eating and you'll be on the way to more fun, less stress, and fewer medical bills!

The Quickest way to lose weight
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
What on earth happened? My temple has become an overweight, ignored, even ugly mess of fat and age-induced wrinkles. The months of inactivity and unhealthy food choices have resulted in ( big surprise ) - an unsightly beer-belly ( although that beer a month probably has little to do with this belly! ), and less than optimal upper body strength. Where did those months go?
There are no do-overs when it comes to our bodies. What we have is a direct result of the choices we make - in diet and physical activity. Months of eating donuts and sugar-laden candy and cookies have enabled me to add some very unwelcome pounds to this old body. The twice or three times per week workouts were just not enough to ward off the extra pounds.
On the positive side - I still have the ability to get out and walk for an hour without dropping over. I can still do some of the basic exercises we all learn in middle school and high school.
I can choose to ignore or postpone the urges to pick up a bag of cookies or my favorite candy. I can eliminate the white bread and use whole wheat instead for those much-loved sandwiches. There are ample quantities of heart-healthy fruits and vegetables available at the store I can easily walk to.
Make healthy food choices, exercise and lose weight fast!
Luckily, there are options. I know what works - and each time i glance in the mirror can plainly see what doesn't. The health experts all seem to agree - the quickest way to lose weight is a twofold approach. Start getting in shape - fast, and start eating healthy foods. Not the sugary crap I so enjoy!
Dear Lord Thank You for giving me the opportunity improve and choices to turn my body into your Temple!

Save Money - Start Getting in Shape Fast - at Home!
One of the many blessings of living in Kansas has to be that we get to experience and savor all four seasons. For almost nine months of the year we can enjoy the opportunity to have fun outdoors without the need to dress with multiple layers of clothing. From late April thru early October many a Midwesterner can be spotted wearing shorts during the daylight hours.
And then comes winter. Late Autumn and early Winter are nice. Until it snows or the temperature dips below 40 degrees. Don’t get me wrong – please – Winter is such a beautiful time of year.
For about two weeks.
Once the hope of a white Christmas is past and we embark upon a New Year many people in the Midwest are ready for Spring. More than once during a winter snowstorm I’ve found myself wondering just why in the Sam Hill do I remain in this part of the country.
I mean isn’t that why Miami and Fort Lauderdale are such popular destinations? Why else are so many daily flights to Cancun filled with loads of eager tourists ready for some fun in the nice, warm sun?
Perhaps the single greatest hardship of winter – other than driving thru the snow in a two-wheel drive Saturn – is trying to get outside and play. For those of us who aren’t into Hockey or ice-fishing getting any outdoor fun and exercise is just plain challenging.
Do you have a basement or an extra bedroom that you can convert into your very own fitness center? Get some weights and a jump rope, maybe a rowing machine. Have your very own little entertainment center maybe – complete with some of your favorite exercise videos and music to inspire or get you moving!
If you want fast results – burning more calories in less time. If want to make the most of your time. If you want results – fast! You’ll be glad you invested in the most efficient, fat burning, muscle building home fitness equipment available anywhere - get a Bowflex TreadClimber and a Bowflex Revolution. These two powerhouse pieces of fitness equipment have everything you need to get into tip top shape in no time. And stay that way!
Getting in shape fast is a realistic goal if you work out a little each day and enjoy healthy eating habits! Health experts and fitness gurus alike agree that the quickest way to lose weight is getting plenty of exercise and eating healthy!

Make the Most of Your Lunch Hour!
Who has time to exercise? With so many responsibilities to tend to, many of us are hard pressed to find time for exercise. We can sneak in a little exercise here and there and end up feeling better and looking better! Try to make the most of your lunch hour if you can and get a little exercise in over the lunch hour!
Spend 20 minutes eating healthy foods. Try some whole grain pita or tortillas filled with shredded carrots, avocado, chopped tomatoes, and spinach. Add in a hard-boiled egg ( skip the yolk ) or some wild-caught, salmon. Have an apple – or some applesauce and maybe a nice cup of green tea. The possibilities are practically endless. Just be sure to get plenty of vegetables and fruits.
Then, for the remainder of your lunch time – get outside and walk. Walk fast. Slow down for a minute or two, then pick up your pace to as fast as you can for a few minutes. Do some stretches. Enjoy the wonderful sights, smells, and sounds of nature – if you can.
Don’t have time to leave the office? Can you find some stairs and walk the stairs for 10 or 15 minutes? Doing the stairs will work your legs, butt, and your core muscles. And give you a great little cardio workout!
Do you have a small meeting scheduled that you can move outdoors ? Convince your associate(s) to walk with you while you meet. Bring along a little voice recorder if you need to and then have someone write up your notes afterward.
Workout during lunch and you’ll have loads more energy for the rest of the day!
Remember – the quickest way to lose weight is eating healthy and start getting in shape – fast!

Balance - Healthy Eating and Exercise
Start getting in shape fast with a healthy balance of Healthy eating and exercise. You can soon enjoy the countless benefits of a healthy lifestyle. A few very basic changes in your daily habits can soon result in a much healthier, sexier body you can be proud of!
Becoming a healthier you isn't just about eating healthy—it's also about physical activity. Regular physical activity is important for your overall health and fitness. It also helps you control body weight by balancing the calories you take in as food with the calories you expend each day.
* Get some exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week.
* Increasing the intensity or the amount of time that you are physically active can have even greater health benefits and may be needed to control body weight. About 60 minutes a day may be needed to prevent weight gain.
* Children and teenagers should be physically active for 60 minutes every day, or most every day.
Strive for balance in your food choices. Get more fiber in fruits and vegetables. Make sure you get some protein each day to fuel your muscles. And some complex carbs - in whole grains to help fuel your workouts.
If you eat 100 more food calories a day than you burn, you'll gain about 1 pound in a month. That's about 10 pounds in a year. The bottom line is that to lose weight, it's important to reduce calories and exercise more! You can exercise and lose weight fast. Focus on making healthy food choices and building muscles. Get a variety of exercise into your schedule each week.
Health experts agree - the quickest way to lose weight - and keep it off - is with healthy eating and daily exercise!
