IT ’S NEVER TOO LATE!
You don’t need to grow up as an athlete to enjoy exercise as an adult. There is no point in your life where it is too late to start being more active than you currently are. There are plenty of ways to incorporate light activity into your lifestyle, such as:
• Taking a walk in the evening with your family
• Wearing a pedometer and trying to take more steps every day
• Joining your local community center and using the pool to swim laps several times a week
• Engaging in light weight training at home before work
• Taking a yoga class
These are just several examples of how you could incorporate more activity into your lifestyle without making many large changes to your way of life. If you feel that your physical health or an old injury is holding you back from being active, contact us. Working with a Choice physical therapist can help you achieve improved balance and a healthy lifestyle.
