It can be tough figuring out how to keep your physical and mental health in check with everything going on, and many people look to the New Year to start a new exercise program, yet struggle to stay motivated to stick with the new habits. Starting a new exercise routine is not only valuable for your physical health, exercise has the potential to have an overall positive effect on your mental health as well. The real challenge for most is figuring out where to start, and finding something you enjoy doing. We want to help you find your way to health, and happiness, in 2023.
The reality is that not all exercise is created equal, and cardio vs. strength is the long battled debate. Combining the to two can add variety and decrease the chance for losing motivation. Recent research has found that those doing strength training in combination with moderate to vigorous aerobic activity can realize valuable health benefits throughout their lifespan, and the results applied to all age groups.
MY REC STROY
The desire and need to exercise for many is easily attached to feeling healthy and strong, to benefit other aspects their lives. For others it may be the socializing with familiar faces, as well as the opportunity to meet new people. For 72 year old Gordon Miller, joining the Rec Center was both, but with an added and unexpected benefit.
