Increase circulation in the legs

Use it or Lose it.

The first thing to GO with old age are your legs.

When you think about it, the legs are being used less and less.

You probably sat in your car, on the bus or on the subway today.

You might be sitting at your desk at work. You'll be sitting on the couch tonight. You'll sit to eat.

And, chances are, you've taken the elevator or escalator to get to where you needed to go today, right?

What's wrong with this picture?

EVERYTHING

Make sure your legs get adequate circulation and stimulation daily.

No one wants to be in a wheelchair or walker on purpose. Many people who are disabled would give everything they own to be able to walk, run, squat, jump and lunge.

Yet, you probably take your legs for granted. We all do.

We just need to be reminded, poked in the ribs a little.

So that's what I'm doing.

Poking you in the ribs.

Whenever you find yourself sitting too long, choosing to take the elevator instead of the stairs, or "vegetating" in front of the TV. Get up, train and maintain your legs.

One of the best ways to do that is to engage them in stretching. Nothing complicated, can be done in the comfort of your own home or office.

P.S. All it takes is Awareness. Always put your legs FIRST, that way they'll never let you down when you really start needing them.
