Exercise

If you want to increase your leg strength before you start a jogging or running program, today's Hip Flexion is a great Way. It'll strengthen your hip flexors and your quadriceps. Before you ask them to go the extra mile on the treadmill or out on the street. No weight machine necessary. Just a featherweight resistance tube.

A 2-minute exercise to strengthen the muscles you use to stay on your feet. And to strengthen and tone your outer thighs, too. Your abductor muscles. Mission-critical muscles for your next beach vacation. Especially if you step barefoot onto hot sand and start hopping around on one foot.

Time for a 1-minute exercise you can do at home or at work. One example of something you should do once every hour or two. C'mon. Flex those shoulder and triceps muscles. This one 'll have you on the edge of your chair. Press Play to see the Way.

What a deal. Sunlight's free and you don't even have to strap a solar panel to your back to use it. Just take off your shirt. Or your pants. Because your skin synthesizes Vitamin D when it's exposed to sunlight and - get this - you're probably Vitamin D-deficient.

Now here's some good news for everyone over 30. All you need is some frequent exercise to maintain muscle strength. At any age. Maintain higher functional capacity and quality of life with a little exercise. So 10-pound grocery bags don't feel like 20-pounders.
