Dont forget to exercise
We tend to gain weight as we age because our
metabolism slows. Cutting calories is just part of the
weight-control equation. Exercise becomes more important than ever
as we get older, not just to boost metabolism and burn calories,
but also to maintain muscle mass, flexibility, and bone density.
The following exercises all do double or triple duty—a
blessing for these busy days.
