Exercise Pays Off at Any Age

Look at the people in this photo collage. What do they have in common?

They all exercise at a gym regularly – and they’re all well over 50 years old.

They are living proof that the spectacular benefits of fitness have no age limit.

“Whether you’re in your 40s or your 80s, you will benefit in the same way,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Wael Jaber, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and author of a study that says not exercising is worse for your health than smoking and diabetes.

The study found that sedentary people are almost four times as likely to die early as those who exercise regularly. It examined 122,000 people who were tested on treadmills over 13 years.

“There is no ceiling for the benefit of exercise,” he said. “There’s no age limit that doesn’t benefit from being physically fit.”

You don’t have to tell Winston, Betty, or any of the other folks pictured. But sadly, most people of all ages don’t get enough exercise. Some good news: People over 70 are the fastest-growing segment of the population to use personal trainers, according to the Personal Training Development Center.

This study and the trend show that exercise is right for everyone, regardless of age. See us, and let us show you how comfortable, safe, and fun it is to stay healthy and live longer.

We help men and women over 50 feel better, look better, and age actively- because our life isn’t over as we age; in many ways, it’s just beginning!
