Why use Workout Exercises for Fitness?

• This best fitness workout plan isn’t strenuous
• You don’t need special clothes
• The keep-fit exercises are a great wake-up for your brain
• And the fitness workout is suitable for all ages — and fantastic for the over-50′s!

This program seems simple — and it is. But the series of fitness exercises is designed to get each of the major muscle groups engaged and active — just what you need for a fitness workout that will keep you fit for life. It isn’t a weight loss program but it will give you the energy to start on that if that is what you are looking for.

Try it even if you are not as active now as you once were. Life experiences differ and some folk can’t do the standing parts anymore. Well, no worries — just do the arm exercises and most of the leg exercises sitting down. You are still achieving a lot and you will feel much better for the few minutes spent on these exercises for fitness. You can even do the ‘lying down’ ones in bed!

You don’t have to accept memory loss as a way of life! Exercise is a key factor in brain health. Want to see some solid research showing how exercise improves memory? Go to the “Pick a Topic” box in the right column and click on “Exercise”.
