How important is exercise?

I read a book last year that was really entertaining, well written and very inspiring. It is called Younger Next Year. I highly recommend it. My kids tease my husband and I all the time about it as we tell them how young we are getting every year.  It gives you "rules" to slow down the aging process dramatically. It delves into nutrition and is very passionate on the topic of exercise.  In particular cross training. The authors believe that exercise should be done six days a week to keep you youthful both physically and mentally.

 For myself and my family we have made it extremely high on our list of priorities.  Our kids understand their bodies are beautiful machines and need proper care and maintenance.  To keep them in  optimal condition they require exercise, great nutrition,  and to be drug free.

 I love the feel of a great sweat, and the feeling of well being that a great workout gives me. It is something I make happen regardless of what else is going on.  I take yoga, spin classes, run on the beach, and belong to a gym, The Workout Spot in Coconut Grove. It is owned by 4 great trainers.  My trainer is Damian,  he has a wide array of clients,  with all different needs. He tailors each workout to the individual. He motivates, pushes, demands and receives the best from his clients. For me the expense of having a trainer is an investment in myself. 

 

 Whether you use a trainer, take classes, go to boot camp, do yoga or play a sport  I hope  exercise  in whatever form you choose  becomes an integral part of your life.  Here's to our good health...   xo Ginny
