Tips to Enjoy Exercise More: 

    • Select activities you enjoy. You are much more likely to maintain an exercise program if you enjoy the activity. Do you like walking, swimming, riding a bike, working out at a gym, or working out at home? To start, maybe try walking around the block. Notice everything as a sensory experience; nature, bird sounds, flowers, anything, everything. This will take your mind off the exercise/activity. This approach works like magic for me. You can also dance to music in your home. Rethinking your approach to exercise will definitely help get you started.

Walking and Health:

We’ve heard the age-old tale that walking after eating helps digestion, but researchers have found that it can reduce glucose levels by up to 17%.*

When you eat, your blood sugar levels spike. This is a completely normal event called a postprandial spike. This triggers the release of insulin, which enables the glucose to enter your cells which is then used for energy.** Now, doctors say you could drastically reduce these glucose levels by walking for a few minutes after eating. They’ve even gone as far as to say that merely standing can help as well, citing it could reduce levels on average by 9.51%.*

Weight Gain and the Age Factor
:

Here are some of the few things we need to know about weight gain and why age matters:

  1. Metabolism. As we age, our metabolism slows down (unless we exercise and lift weights). This is because we begin to lose muscle mass after age 40. If we continue to eat the same amount, we will gradually gain weight. This also explains why, as we age, it is more challenging to lose weight. We lose weight more slowly, and sometimes we are unable to lose weight.
