Today is your day Boomer! I know, I know....it is hot today, but you still have to exercise. My wife does early morning walks in the shade; I sometimes head to the air-conditioned fitness centre, or place tennis when it is cooler. But....we still need to do something every day. And according to the website, firstlighthomecare.com, here are the top five important exercises for Baby Boomers: (1)cardio: get your heart pumping for at least 30 minutes/day (2)strength training: twice/week and "make sure you leave 24 to 48 hours between strength training because your muscles need to rest." (3)flexibility training: at least 5 minutes in morning and evening (4)balance training: simple exercises and just a few minutes/day (5)core training: "Exercises like sit ups, reverse curls and crunches will help with your core." Boomers, you've heard some of this before...but it is always a good reminder when the days get hot, and maybe you get a little lazy. Cheers!
