Get off that couch!

Exercising regularly is one of the best insurance policies around. 

After just a few weeks, your number of mitochondria will increase.  Mitchondria are “the parts of cells that convert carbs, fat, and protein into fuel” for your muscles.  This will energize you considerably.

Within six months, you’ll feel locked into your exercise routine.  Most dropouts occur before that.  Muscles will now be shaping up, and oxygen will be more readily available.  Within a year, your bones will be denser.

All this not only spells increased health, but also economic gain.  Medical costs should greatly decrease, as you’ll be at a far lower risk for arthritis, heart disease, dementia, type 2 diabetes, breast and colon cancers.

Surely a couch can’t compete with all that.  In fact, few things can.
