This section contains information on exercise and how it can help improve your
well-being.
| Tips on Choosing a Health Club: Choosing a health club
can be confusing. On this page the American Council on Exercise (ACE) offers the advice to
help consumers sort through the myriad of fitness club options.
|
| Proper Walking Techniques: If you have no inclination to
exercise regularly, at least take the time to walk. This advice is sound. This page
contains a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of your stroll.

| Sitting Fit: Sitting a long time can cause problems like
low back pain, weak stomach muscles, poor circulation, tight muscles and stiff joints.
This page has information on how to reduce the impact of sitting.
|
| Strength Training: For years, the prevailing wisdom was
that women became weaker and weaker with age. But new information has turned that
stereotype practically on its head, as we see evidence that even some of the frailest
elderly women can increase strength, balance and even bone density.
|
| Type I Diabetes and Exercise: People with type I
diabetes are encouraged to exercise for the same reasons as people without diabetes.
Exercise keeps the body in tone and is good for the heart and lungs. This page includes
important information for the diabetic to consider before exercising.
