Active Lifestyle includes your favorite activities in daily routines. Stretching, swimming, Yoga, Pilates along with activities in the gym will keep muscles and bones strong. Activities should be done regularly in a consistent and moderate level. Any new activity should be worked into a routine slowly, if it hurts, DON’T do it. The most important gauge of success is if you enjoy it. Don’t allow a sedentary lifestyle to diminish the effect of beneficial stress to the body. The axiom of “use it or lose it’ applies to every person. Find friends that are active, discover new interests and set goals for progress. If you miss some time, get back into your plan as soon as possible. The ability to stay active is a gift, don't lose it!
