One of the most important factors to achieving a healthy lifestyle is a good eating and fitness plan. Staying fit and eating healthy, not only makes you look good but also makes you feel good. There is no better feeling than ending your fitness routine, with a sense of achievement.

There are a lot of ways to stay healthy and enjoy staying healthy; finding the sport or exercise that interests you the most makes fitness fun and healthy. If you do not enjoy the exercise program you do, then try another! There are hundreds of ways of keeping fit from dancing to rock climbing. Find something that takes your interest give it a go, like it or hate it you can always move on to the next one.

Just about all aspects of fitness can be achieved in a gym e.g. strength building, cardiovascular fitness, aerobics and dance. All ages and fitness levels are catered for and improvements can be monitored and changed to suit the individual.

The good thing about the gym is it’s an anytime (within reason) fitness centre, whether it is raining, snowing or hurricane winds, there is always somewhere to train. Not only can you train in the comfort of the gym, there is also the help of trained professionals on hand at all times. If you are a novice at the gym and do require help, ask a member of staff about personal trainers. Personal trainers are not that expensive and can get you into the fitness routine of your choice in no time.

Whatever you do in life to keep fit, it is 100 times better than sitting on the sofa getting fat and lazy! Get out there get the heart pumping, do not under estimate the effects a good fitness routine can have on you, your body, and the way you live your life. Go to the Diet and Exercise programme

Welcome to FR Dr. Xanax...I agree that exercise is the best antidote for many of the things that ail ye.

And every little bit helps. Even just getting fresh air helps.

It's hard for me to eat junk living in a house with a PA. However I don't like most fast food anyway and I'm pretty active even with my disability.

On the other hand I think that a lot of Americas problems have to do with factory farmed foods. I just believe that they lack a lot of the vitamins and minerals that come from garden grown veggies. I don't have anything to back it up, it's just my belief.

Then there's the active lifestyle factor which I believe is most important of all. My great grandparents all lived into their late 80s and 90s eating a lot of butter fried foods and garden veggies but all were very active late into their lives.

The key is to find something you like doing and you'll keep doing it

For me, its walking/hiking, every day

I look forward to it
