HEALTHY BALANCE
Losing or maintaining weight and getting the proper exercise can become more of a challenge as we age.
Due to a slower metabolism, we require fewer calories, making it more important to eat foods that provide the highest nutritional value.
I have often struggled with excess weight over the years.
We also often struggle to get enough exercise due to health issues, whether age-related or otherwise.
I was a runner my entire adult life, and finding some other form of exercise I enjoy doing is challenging. I wish I had done more cross-training when I was younger, but running was the only exercise I did consistently.
I did lift weights off and on but never loved that as I did running. I haven't given up on the idea that I could run in the future, but I am trying to embrace other forms of exercise.
