Exercise Is The Fountain of Youth
How do you exercise safely? De Vries has six tips for older adults:
1. See your doctor. A medical check-up is extremely important before beginning or
increasing the intensity of an exercise program.
2. Take it slow. Start at a low, comfortable level, increase exertion very gradually.
3. Know your limit. If you are excessively fatigued, have sleeping problems or persistent
soreness, youre probably trying to do too much.
4. Exercise regularly. It takes many weeks, event months, to reach peach conditioning, but
your fitness level can be lost in a week or two of inactivity. Try to maintain an exercise
schedule of at least three workouts a week. But stop if you become ill, even if it is only
a cold.

exercise. A proper warm up (stretching and slow walking) of about ten minutes protects
the heart, muscles, and joints from injury.
6. Cool down afterward. Never stop vigorous exercise abruptly. Walk for at least two
minutes after walkjog and waiting at least five minutes after vigorous workout, take a
