How to Age-Proof Your Body With These Simple Aerobic Exercises

Nobody wants to get old and certainly nobody wants to die. But running a close second behind those two things is the fact that nobody wants to *look* old! Fortunately you don't necessarily have to.

Today I want talk about several simple aerobic exercises that you can do to keep yourself from looking old before your time. A lot of people seem to think that it's natural to lose strength as you get older but losing strength as time goes on doesn't have a single thing to do with being old. It starts to happen not because of old age but because we start slowing down and stop exercising. That's all.

The fact of the matter remains that only about 10% of Americans exercise enough to stay fit and healthy looking. The rest of us are slowly marching towards old age without even fighting!

Luckily no matter how old you are and how bad you've been at exercising in the past, you can always turn around and reverse the results. Sometimes it can take as short a time as a few simple months to completely turn your lifestyle around even if you haven't exercised for many many years.

So how do you get started? I suggest that you plan on, and in fact do, work out once every other day for a short period doing some sort of aerobic exercise. It doesn't have to be that difficult. You can start out by simply walking around the block for 20 minutes. Slowly, over time you can expand it or switch to more strenuous activities such as bicycling or even swimming, which by the way is fantastic!

The point is you should try to factor in some sort of rhythmic movement to get your body going, increases your pulse, and makes you sweat a little bit. You should move briskly but you don't have to push yourself so hard that you feel exhausted or fatigued.

You will be absolutely amazed at how spending only 20 minutes every other day walking around the block can change your life around. In no time at all you'll start to look younger and you'll start to feel younger, which is even more important when you really think about it.

Not only will you look better and feel better but you will have more energy throughout the day. And luckily the more out of shape you are the quicker your turnaround will be. I'm not really sure why this is true but I have found that it is over the years.

So why don't you make a commitment right now this very minute to walk for 20 minutes every other day for one month and see how good you feel after that month is over. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
