Are You Too Old to Exercise?

Too many people think that exercise is only for younger people. That's simply not true. In fact, exercise is actually more important for people over 60.

As you get older, movement-based activities decrease. Then it becomes necessary to consciously schedule your daily movement. That's what exercise is - regimented, scheduled movement.
