So, what if you could decrease your workouts to 20 minutes and reap greater benefits? With today’s demands I think many of us would be open to any ideas that increase our efficiency. Lets face it, if time in the day gets short, exercise may be one item on the “to do” list that doesn’t get done. Maybe you have a regular routine, but are looking for new ways to challenge yourself. So…..I introduce to you the Peak Fitness Program.
Just today I found a new article at Health.com which cited a study from Japan. They found that people with diabetes were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s Disease as those without. They found that diabetics also had a 1.75 times chance of developing dementia. Along with that I read an article that stated Americans are consuming less soda since 1998. However we still consume 736 eight ounce servings per person each year. That’s still a little over 2 cans a day, every day!
Recently I was talking with my five children about their workouts and the need to have both an aerobic and resistance (bands, weights or gravity) components to their fitness programs. They all compete in sports and a few would be called “gym rats.” They already know that exercise is vital for everyone but especially for athletes who want to compete. So the conversation started with bored glances in my direction. This was just dad telling them something they already knew.
