A recent study conducted by Chicago's Rush University tracked 7,000 healthy women for eight years from age 52. They found women who were the least fit were three times more likely to die from heart disease. Fitness factored higher than smoking, cholesterol or blood pressure.
Even if you are overweight being physically active reduces your risk of disease and mortality more than someone who is thin but does no exercise. Added to that are increased risks of osteoporosis, type II diabetes, breast cancer and incontinence related to lack of exercise. Women may have less time than they think, but it is never too late to act. 'Fit From 50+' is a unique beginner-friendly fitness program designed for women in middle-age.
This program is designed for women to live longer, stay well and extend an active life by many years. You don't need to join a gym and you don't have to follow a punishing regime to stay in shape.
