As we age, the need for exercise increases. This is especially true for those of us who are menopausal or post-menopausal. "Women often exercise less when they enter menopause, which can lead to weight gain. To further complicate matters, the metabolism is also decreased. One reason for this metabolism declines with age is the loss of muscle mass (about half-a-pound a year)." In addition, the health/cardiovascular benefits are immense. Take care of your bodies now, so you can live the healthiest life you can. It's never too early or too late to start.
