Everyone knows that exercise is good for you, but did you know it can add years to your life? Exercise is truly the key to healthy aging. As you get older, sometimes maintaining or even starting an exercise routine can be a little bit of a challenge. Maybe it's been awhile since you've exercised and you just don't know where to start. Or perhaps you feel hesitant because of some ongoing health problems or you're worried about an injury or falling. Don't let these worries slow you down! Instead, let them be reasons to motivate you to get moving. Remember to always consult a medical professional before beginning any new exercise program, especially if you're experiencing any acute or chronic medical conditions.

No matter your age or physical condition, exercise will help you to stay strong, energetic and promote healthy aging. Here's how:

1. Exercise can help you to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. As we age, our metabolism naturally starts to slow down. Exercise helps to boost metabolism and build muscle mass. 
2. A regular exercise routine allows you to maintain and often enhance your levels of strength.
3. With regular exercise, you can experience a lowered risk of chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and diabetes. 
4. Exercise improves immune function, better bone density and blood pressure.
