14. I take brisk walks that’s
enough exercise
Appropriate level of
intensity is about 65% to
75% of maximal aerobic
capacity. This means that
there should be no pain or
distress but breathing and
sweating should be
stimulated.
(Baker Heart Institute)
15. I do a lot of lifting at work,
so I get enough exercise.
16. I do a lot of gardening for resistance training.
Moderate amount of low resistance weight
training will increase strength and lean body
mass without undue risk.
(Baker Heart Institute)
There is convincing evidence that blood
pressure is reduced when circuit training is
combined with more aerobic training
program.
Typically weight training involves 10-15
repetitions using a low resistance weight of
40-50% of maximum strength.
Different muscle groups are exercised at 8-10
different stations with 30-60 seconds resting
time between each.
17. I take yoga lessons
every Sunday
The idea of stretching has been recently
endorsed by the American College of Sport
Medicine and growing evidence seems to
indicate that a proper stretching program can
increase flexibility around the joints and also
reduce frequency and intensity of injuries.
(American College of Sports Medicine).
ACSM guidelines call for stretching 2-3 times a
week.

Dr. Kelli F. Koltyn found that
overall, women living
independently were
healthier, more active and
reported a higher quality of
life than those in assisted
living. But regardless of
where the women lived,
those who were relatively
more active gave higher
ratings to their quality of life.
(University of Wisconsin-Madison )
Despite the positive benefits of regular physical activity, it has
been estimated that 70% of older adults do not engage in
regular physical activity
20. But I play a
lot of golf.
With millions of 'baby boomers' passing the age of fifty, our
increased numbers of mature Americans can be either a
liability or an asset, depending on their levels of physical
activity.
(Walter M. Bortz, II, MD, chairman of the board of directors
of the Fifty-Plus Fitness Association and professor of
medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.)
21. I play tennis every week.
