Midlife Exercise Increased Brain Function Later in Life

A very interesting new study from the University of Pittsburgh was published today on the online journal Neurology. The study followed 299 men and women with a average age of 78 for nine years and found that regular exercise cut the risk of typical age related memory loss by half. The researches used walking as a metric since it was the most common exercise the participates listed, but the lead author Dr. Kirk Erickson stressed that all forms of exercise would achieve the same positive results, "If regular exercise in midlife could improve brain health and improve thinking and memory in later life, it would be one more reason to make regular exercise in people of all ages a public health imperative."

Online Fitness Training Videos

With summer about to be in full swing and daily schedules constantly in flux because of work, summer camps, sport commitments and vacations free time becomes the one commodity we seem to loose first. In these circumstances we know too well that health and fitness is treated like a luxury and not the necessity it actually is. You are only given one body in life and it should be treated like the rare commodity it is. But with such busy schedule who has the time? That is why we at FitnessWorkx have online training videos to demonstrate proper technique and form for those who for various reasons don't have the time. These videos encompass the entire body with many different exercises for the same muscle group to keep your work outs fresh and to avoid plateaus, which is the most common pitfall in fitness training. Stop by www.fitnesswork.com to start your training today.
