We are sweating a lot of things these days, but in at least one case, this is a good thing.

The physical and mental benefits of vigorous exercise have become increasingly clear in recent years. So has the linkage between fitness and diet. While good health habits alone cannot stave off the effects of aging, those who do practice good health habits give themselves an edge in old age.

Baby Boomers enjoy experiences, rather than just activities. They are also known to go to great lengths to resist the realities of aging.

If seniors are otherwise healthy into their 70s and even 80s, there is no physical reason they can't engage in strenuous physical activities. Social attitudes about the physical capabilities of older bodies are slowly changing but remain an impediment to healthy aging for many seniors.

No matter what your age, it is important to exercise. The earlier you incorporate it into a regular routine, the better off you will be.

Here at the senior center, we have many exercise programs to meet your needs. We offer discounts for the classes if you are a senior center member, but you don't have to be a member to attend. There are also free exercise programs three days of the week. We are making it easy and fun for you to get your workouts in. Now all you have to do is come down and check it out.

Mark your calendars for July 2, when the senior center is doing a fundraiser at Pizza Ranch. Join us for an evening meal, and the senior center gets the tips and a percentage of the evening's income. The board, staff and members will be waiting on your tables that evening. Hope to see you there.
