Midlife Fitness Predicts Long-Term Heart Health
May 26th
If you’re considering joining us for our brand new Exercise Essentials online video program, consider this…
Research showed that a person’s fitness level at midlife is a strong predictor of long-term heart health, proving just as reliable as traditional risk factors like cholesterol level or high blood pressure.
The research focuses on how fast a person can run one mile:
- High fitness: 8 minutes (men), 9 minutes (women)
- Moderate fitness: 9 minutes (men), 10.5 minutes (women)
- Low fitness: 10 minutes+ (men), 12 minutes+ (women)
Essentially, heart disease risk increases markedly for every minute longer it takes you to run a mile.
“The exercise you do in your 40s is highly relevant to your heart disease risk in your 80s,” researchers said.
Don’t let this research scare you – and certainly don’t try to test your speed if you’ve been sedentary for a while.
Let us help you to get started the right way!
Our Exercise Essentials program starts slow and builds over 30 days. Trust us, we know how hard it is to start getting back in shape.
Before we started filming this series, we had to start from zero, too. We know how you feel… let us show you how we did it so that you can get back on track, too!
5 Rules of Exercise Excellence
May 19th
Our FREE, all-new Exercise Essentials with Paul and Ann program starts soon! You’ll get a video in your email inbox every day that will help guide to to physical fitness over 30 days.
While we put the finishing touches on this program, here are 5 things to remember before starting ANY exercise routine:
1. Warm up! If you’ve ever started your car in a cold climate, you know that you have to let it warm up before you drive or you’re going to hurt the vehicle. Same thing goes for your body. Stretching to warm up your muscles is essential to help get the most out of your work out and to prevent injury.
2. Eat! Starving yourself while you’re working out is counterproductive. Your body needs nutritious, plant-based, whole foods to prepare for and recover from a workout.
3. Know your limits! There’s no shame in working up to a fitness routine. If you’ve been lax in the fitness department for a while, take it easy. The last thing you want to do is discourage yourself as soon as you get started.
4. Be consistent! Starting and stopping your exercise routine is harder on your body than sticking with it. Take it easy if you have to (see #3) but don’t stop.
5. Have fun! Exercise doesn’t have to mean running on a boring treadmill. Get out there! Go places, do things… the increased energy you’ll have from starting a new routine will give you the motivation to try stuff you never thought you could.
Watch for our new Exercise Essentials program… coming soon!
