Many of us who are over 50 are now discovering that we have spent years working and not exercising. Sure, some of us have promised ourselves that we would lose weight or start a fitness regime, but time did not permit it. Unlike our children --- our grown children --- we put work and family ahead of our personal health and fitness.
As we age, we begin to feel tired more easily, not have the enthusiasm for life that some of our neighbors may have. That is no reason to take a seat and watch life go by. Instead, it is time to pick up the resistance bands and get fit! We have a long active life ahead. We worked for it. We earned it. And, we deserve it! Now is the time to take care of ourselves beginning with this home fitness program (especially designed for beginners and seniors).
Recently, while working with a physical therapist from a local hospice program, I noticed that he only recommended resistance bands --- no more weights --- for the older cancer patients, as well as the younger ones. Back in his office, I was quite surprised to discover that he used resistance bands for all his clients. Why? They are safe. They are lightweight. They are easy to use. There is less chance of muscle strain.
In other words, regardless of age or physical condition, physical therapists and occupational therapists have recognized the benefits of resistance bands versus free weights. The bands will help build strength, muscle tone, and stamina just as free weights will --- without the risk of hurting oneself. For those of us who are over 50 and ready to get started on a new life path, the only home exercise equipment needed to get moving is the exercise mat and resistance bands. And, of course, this DVD!
