New Year’s Day has come and gone, and by now many of us are shrugging
off lofty resolutions and getting back into our familiar routines. However, if
your goal in 2014 is to be more active, don’t give up so easily. According to a
recent article in the National Post, “Baby
Boomers should start working out now if they want to be fit in senior years,
doctor says,” how much and how fast you lose muscle mass, bone density,
flexibility and aerobic capacity as you age is greatly influenced by your
fitness level. Those of us lucky enough to age into our seventies and beyond
need to be diligent with physical fitness in middle age in order to be happy
and healthy later on, experts say.
Typically, when we’re in our teens, twenties and thirties,
exercise primarily revolves around maintaining physical appearance – looking our
best and maintaining a healthy weight. As we age, maintaining muscle is a key
component to overall health and wellness. Staying active now will help us
maintain our independence and allow us to continue enjoying the activities we
love.
At Harmony Village Sheppard and Harmony Village Lake Simcoe,
fulsome lifestyle and exercise amenities will be provided for residents and the
community. We’re committed to making it as easy and convenient as possible for you
to sustain an independent lifestyle.

winter months? Share your tips and tricks with us and on the Harmony
Village Facebook page.
