Your body is designed to be active. Nicholas A. Dinubile, MD says "If all the benefits of exercise could be packaged in a single pill, it would be the most prescribed medication in the world". I'm a personal trainer and I specialize in fitness over the age of 50. I would argue with anyone that a sedentary lifestyle is the leading cause of most of the aches and pains associated with aging.
I've seen first hand people of all ages who complain of back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and many other physical and mental aliments get better when they get up and start to exercise on a regular basis.

I'm an ACE certified personal trainer and National Masters Over 60 Powerlifting Champion with over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. I've seen a lot of fads come and go, but three things remain constant in getting healthy and staying fit. A positive mental attitude, a healthy balanced diet, and a fitness program built on proper strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Practice these three things daily and you will discover that they lead to "The Fountain of Youth."
