Live Long, Live Well means just that and in order to make this happen exercise needs to be part of our weekly regimen. I live in a community where the majority of women are retired and in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. This is the most fit community I have ever lived in and the one common denominator of watching all the woman be healthy is that they all exercise. I went to a yoga class and was almost embarrassed because I was the youngest one in the class and the least fit. The majority of women in the class were in their late 70’s and 80’s. So when I say live well I mean live healthy. Take a trip to a retirement community where women are not exercising and the women will be less healthy. If the price I have to pay is to exercise to stay out of the hospital, well small price wouldn’t you say?

I love the articles in Ecumen so of course to further what I am saying and to add statistics take a quick look at Ecumen’s article on woman and exercise, click here . I’m up for a longer life “if” my life is a healthy life, how about you?
