There’s a myth or urban legend if you like that says as you get older particularly into your 60s it gets harder if not impossible to stay fit and at a healthy weight.
I don’t believe that’s true I believe the reason we put on weight as we get older is that our activity levels decrease with age because we do less. We walk less and we exercise less therefore it’s inevitable that if we maintain our old eating habits or in other words we take in the same number of calories we used to when we were younger it’s inevitable we’ll put on weight.
But it doesn’t have too be that way there’s no reason why someone in their 60s can’t maintain a level of activity that enables them to stay fit and healthy.
It seems that we’re programmed by the media for it to be inevitable therefore why do anything about it.
Fortunately the solution is simple. Just increase your activity levels and you can reverse this trend. Now you don’t have too joined a gym or start jogging which lets face it would probably do your joints more harm than good you just need to start moving a little bit more.
A short walk of maybe a mile or two either in the country or around the block. Maybe take a Pilates class which will give you a core and structural stability we all need a particularly as we get older. After all if we have a firm foundation anything we build on him is likely to stay.
So don’t make excuses for being out of shape because no matter what your age it’s always possible to stay fit and let’s face it the fitter winner the longer we live.
