Will you grow or decay in 2012?

Happy New Year to each and every one of you.
As a Christmas gift from a client and good friend this year, I just read the New York Times Best Seller, Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, M.D.  It is a book written for the soon-to-be or recently retired population and presents all the tools that men and women need to achieve longer, healthier, more passionate lives from 40+. It is packed with educational and practical tips on how to be functionally younger every year for years to come.  Below is an excerpt from the book which I personally know has changed 1 man's life forever. Robert's transformation   

"Bodies Are Programmed To Grow or Decay:
"There is a critical distinction between aging and decay.  Aging is inevitable.  But what we fear the most about aging and what we dread about getting older is actually DECAY.  We are stuck with real aging but decay is optional. So how do we keep ourselves from decaying? By changing the signals we send to our bodies. You have to exercise all the time because it's who you are. It's also who you were. What you came from hundred of millions of years ago. Our bodies and minds are designed to grow with the natural environment-to be alert, to hunt, to explore, to play, to run and to survive."


Do Serious Aerobic Exercise 4 Days A Week…for the rest of your life


The heart is the most important organ in the body.  It is our engine.  It is a muscle that needs to be stressed aerobically in order to grow. It is responsible for transporting life-enhancing oxygen to our bodies


Do Serious Strength Training With Weights 2 Days A Week
…for the rest of your life.
Yes, lifting weights is painful when you do it once a year, once a month, or once a week.  But when you do it twice a week, your joints will thank you.  When your joints go you hurt all the time.  You walk funny. You fall down. You get old.  Lifting weights stops most of that.  It helps to stop bone loss, stop the weakening of tendons, restores cartilage, and improves your posture, overall strength and golf game!  How do you start?  Hire a trainer.  A trainer is not there to hurt you and drive you away.  A trainer is there to teach proper mechanics so you don’t waste your own time. inhometrainer.ca
