Exercise: The Ultimate Anti-Aging Weapon

Daily Exercise and Fitness

Dr. Lopez believes that one of the keys to beauty and health is created by following a sensible routine every day for exercise.

The twenty-first century has ushered in an era where most people want things to happen instantly, but medical and technology advances cannot short-circuit the basic needs of the body.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and through exercise, not only are the muscles toned to sufficiently keep the shape of the body intact, but also body detoxification through the pores is vital for healthy skin.

Each person should choose an exercise that he likes, first and foremost. The best laid plans for exercise can immediately derail, of one does what he think he should do. For example, some people hate to jog - so don't kill yourself getting over this dislike, just pick something you like.

Also, every expert says it, but most people do not follow this advice, do the exercise in a gradual progression. The first two weeks are the hardest and most critical to persist through - so if you can't walk for a week due to muscle soreness, a person may give up.

Most importantly, a person had to have a positive attitude about exercise, and find a way to decide that he does like it, or at least some aspect of it. Rather than focusing on the negative - like the pain, or difficulty, focus on positive aspects, such as delight over new muscle tone, or recognition of newfound energy.

In short, there are no quick fix and there are no short-cuts to exercise and fitness, but moderation and persistence pays off, and turns the clock back on age and beauty!
