Speed - kids do it naturally...just look at any playground! They run, jump and most of all have great balance. So why as #seniors do we forget what came so effortlessly when younger? Why does our balance suffer and, inversely, our fear of falling increase? https://t.co/kgotUypLgh
There is inspiration all around you! Just look at #JaneFonda. She is #80 years old, yet she exercises daily, and looks like she is 60!
Rather than just contemplating the ifs ands or buts, just get out there and start exercising and see/feel the results for yourself!
How can we reduce or limit those ominous #healthcosts? #Illness is part of life, but so is staying healthy. When we drive a car, we perform cautiously, knowing full well the consequences of careless behavior. It is the same with our health. https://t.co/3MnZnjwFuu
Life is difficult, yet it can be both meditative and instructional. Age old disciplines like Yoga & Tai Chi emphasize the benefits of proper breathing and movement, permitting balance control, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness & mental health. https://t.co/NS2Od0p5u9
We are what we absorb, using memories to shape our personalities and reactions to life. Without those #memories, we become a mere shell of a building; if there are no floors, there is no internal structure. https://t.co/wJpsvXwUFS
The #YellowBrickRoad is not only the path towards The City of Oz, it offers direction; it offers an opportunity to learn; and, ultimately, it offers the potential of growth. The City of Oz is not only a destination; it is a place of learning and growth. https://t.co/kY4AMagXis
Living with a disease will NOT limit you...
There's more more than medicine that will help manage symptoms and improve health.
EXERCISE is the key to improving your mental and physical health, leading you to living a longer and happier life!
There are two people in Greek Mythology you emulate, Sisyphus or Atlas. Sisyphus pushed a rock up a hill only to find it roll right back down on him. Atlas, on the other hand, shouldered his load with courage and optimism. Which one are you? https://t.co/SnO38R75wR
I saw a man who suffered with Parkinsons for 10 years play tennis, golf & exercise weekly to maintain his strength independence & quality of life. He accepted PD & made it his own. He learned to own the disease not deny it. He learned to fight not succumb. https://t.co/yQRwjKIHhR
Half the seniors in nursing homes are residents, not due to medical problems, but rather because they are frail. Seniors need to maintain their strength, balance, endurance and flexibility to remain independent and perform activities of daily living. https://t.co/JWWNhT7Yvs
Our inch of time is too short in duration to so easily abandon what nature holds so dear. We were made to be active, not to sit! While there are many obstacles that arise with age, we must go beyond them rather than letting them consume us. https://t.co/TavVLceCDD
One of the pitfalls of aging—memory displacement. Certain words, things or ideas are not in your mind’s rightful place. Is your mind at a point where its refusing to recall your neighbors name or your anniversary date? Exercise your brain! https://t.co/3VHSzVktBk
After years without riding a bike, your body still remembers how to do it through muscle memory. Our body remembers behavior from youth. Muscle memory can be rekindled through exercise proper coordination and speed movement for better balance and movement. https://t.co/ws3OndTSTc
Listen to your heartbeat. It is the single most important part of you that helps you understand your passage through time, as well as differentiating the past, present and future. https://t.co/ACX8dP3nbR
#LifeIsDifficult for our seniors when they are deemed irrelevant and a financial burden. The world we live in today is a result of seniors who have been living long before the youngins. We should respect them as if they still occupy the center of the room! https://t.co/LlAEvKLCVK
