Physical Fitness

It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor. - Marcus Tullius Cicero, circa 65 B.C.

Fitness training improves neuronal efficiency and performance…Older brains are a lot more flexible and plastic than we have been led to believe. - Art Kramer, Ph.D. Director, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science & Technology, Professor of Psychology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Modest physical exercise – thirty minutes of walking five days a week – is excellent long-term health insurance. People who exercise have better brain function, better cardiac function and overall better health. Importantly, exercise reduces your risk of Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and heart disease. It is a stress-reducer and mood-booster.
