Have you ever heard the words
"Do as I say and not as I do"?
Does the modeling of others motivate you to actively engage in physical activity? Do you follow the examples of others around you? Research tells us that physical inactivity is the #1 Risk Factor in Canada and the U.S. A. for our bodies to age poorly. It comes before obesity, which makes sense right? Another fact to consider: 1 in 2 older adults will have diabetes by the time they reach 75. Along with this, inactive bodies are a great breeding ground for Diabetes to take over. Learned behavior can be a risk factor but does it stop us from changing our style and getting active? Tell me what you think. Can Canada get active before it is too late?

Great job Naomi! Look forward to reading future notes from you!
I am finding myself, in my 50's now, trying to make my personal physical activity a priority - and I am feeling much better than I did in my 40's. Now that my aging seems more imminent - I am thinking of the decline of my physical body more!
lets get active!!!
It is amazing that when we find the aging changes of lower metabolism upon us we begin to think about changing habits. It seems to be hard to be proactive rather than reactive. I wonder if we need to reprogram our society to be proactive. Good Job Paula!!!

leave me to believe that healthy aging is about learning how to walk with the right motivation and attitudes. what do you think? Is it only related to this??
