Health professionals and even the general public often express concern regarding body weight and fitness levels. Most Americans, young and old, would benefit from exercise in many ways. The heart, lungs, and blood circulation are all improved by regular, aerobic exercise that is pursued at least three to four times a week for at least 20 minutes per session. Exercise on a regular basis with like-minded individuals can also be a way to socialize and make new friends. If fitness and good health are important to you, don’t delay strapping on your cross-country skis or rollerblades!
