Generation Exercise

Publisher: Goldminds Publishing

With an increase in diabetes, asthma, hypertension, lower life expectancy, and other diseases correlated to a rise in childhood obesity and sedentary lifestyles, it is more important than ever for adults to model and children to learn healthy habits. Regular exercise provides the strength, stamina, coordination, and flexibility that leads to happier, healthier, and longer lives. It helps reduce stress, improves self-image, and enhances performance—and physical fitness also teaches perseverance and sportsmanship, life lessons that are valuable whether you are five or ninety-five. Indeed, the health and wellness of every age groups is enhanced if we are all part of Generation Exercise.
