Fitness Tips



* Climbing up two steps at a time helps to build the quadriceps (thigh muscles) and the gluteus (butt). Going down steps builds strength in the quadriceps and the hamstrings.

* Brittle bones are often a consequence of aging, (particularly for women).  Lifting weights and strength-training should help increase strength, balance and bone density.

* Fat in your belly acts like a heavy weight that pulls your lower spine forward, overly arching your lower back and causing pain.

* The heavier your body, the more it weighs down your joints and the more impact you inflict on your joints with every step.
