Lesson 3 -Move It or Lose It

Exercise for the young is important, but exercise for the older person is imperative! Being physically active is the cornerstone of healthy aging. The National Institute of Aging reports that if exercise could be put into a pill, it would be the most widely prescribed medicine in the country.

There is no part of the body that doesn't benefit from regular exercise!
