There are not many who like to excercise but if you want to stay looking and feeling young for as long as possible, you cannot give up your flexibility.

Some people force themselves to exercise in order to lose weight, but that won't keep you motivated in the long run, and it is only half the battle.  Remember that you also must eat less and consume the proper foods in order to lose the weight.

If you are into tennis, swimming, biking or any other aerobic sport, that certainly counts.  You do not have to be at a gym every day SWEATING IT OUT to have a healthy body, but, if you like it, so much the better.  In general, almost any exercise that you stick with , will be beneficial.

Living without some form of exercise will lead to poor health, and probably sooner than you think.  A physical breakdown may be repaired by a doctor, perhaps through the use of medications (perhaps with side effects) but thats not the answer.  If you want to be preventative, exercise regularly and watch your diet.

Exercising is one of the best anti-aging pastimes you can engage in.

THE BEST ALTERNATIVE - WALKING!!!!!

Walk fast, even very fast, outdoors or on a treadmill.. Walking is a workout with no disadvantages.  Almost anyone can do it, with little chance of injury.  You can walk practically anywhere, either alone or with a friend of family member, and it requires no special equipment unless you prefer a treadmill.
