pair of comfortable sneakers.

Why am I
passionate about health and fitness? I see my dad suffering from back and leg
pain. He doesn’t move because he is in pain, but when the physical therapist
was there to make him do the exercises, he did not complain of pain. He doesn’t
realize that being sedentary is the cause of much of his pain. I have tried to educate him, but he is over 90
years-old. He thinks seeing doctors and taking pills will help. He has seen
many doctors and tried many different medicines to no avail. Insanity is doing
the same thing and expecting a different result. By that measure, he needs
help. We associate aging with less
mobility and many seniors do not exercise regularly. Thus, they are trapped in a vicious cycle. 70%
of American adults are either overweight or obese. Many of them have bad eating habits
and do not exercise. We can prevent many illnesses that are linked to obesity.

their risk of stroke by two-thirds and women decreased their risk of stroke by
50%.
