Step 1
You can erase age, at least 10 years, by starting a cardio work out program. Customize your own cardio program according to your weight goals and schedule. It is important to do cardiovascular work outs at least 3 times a week to reduce HDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) from hardening your body’s arteries as well as to keep your weight low. Heart disease and type 2 diabetes can become problematic when you have a bad diet and hardly any work out plans. Perspiring during high intense aerobic exercises can reduce stress hormones and keep your skin appearing younger and glowing.

Step 2
Just excising in general can help decrease your chances of cancer – this includes breast cancer and colon cancer. Simple daily work outs like walking for 30 minutes to biking can keep your estrogen and insulin levels in check (these hormones are responsible for abnormal tumor growths). If you are overweight, it is recommended that you cut your risk for cancer or other obesity related illnesses by bumping up your work out time from 30 minutes to 60 minutes three times a week.

Step 3
Get your energy back by working out so that your lungs can be trained to regulate breathing more effectively. Once you leave your 20’s, energy is said to decline. So exercising can promote a natural energy boost for those feeling sluggish.

Step 4
Cardiovascular activity not only boosts your immune system, but can reduce chronic inflammation that is seen in most patients suffering from a chronic breathing condition. Asthmatics and other repertory illness patients can benefit from exercise to improve lung function.

Step 5
Improve your balance and core strength with yoga, Pilates, and daily stretching. After the age of 25, your balance and flexibility is said to diminish. A weak core may be the one to blame. Doing common yoga moves like the plank can strengthen your abdominal so that you can maintain a strong, healthy back. Since your entire torso muscles must work together to stabilize your spine, it is important to add in core strength training to your daily exercise routines.

Step 6
Stretching helps prevent injury from working out, but it also helps to maintain the full range of motion in your joints, causing you to not stiff up or be susceptible to premature arthritis. Stretching should be done more than before and after you exercise. Stretch all your major muscle groups at least twice a week to sooth not only the body, but the mind as well.
