SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE

Hey Gang,
Today I am going to talk about the reasons for getting in shape. Most people who get in shape do so to look better. This is a good thing. There are many side effects to getting in shape.
The first is that when you reduce body fat one of the first things to happen is that there is a reduction in blood pressure. This is helpful especially if you are on blood pressure medicine. After following a workout routine usually for at least 6 months and after. Most people can see their doctor and see if they can stop taking this medication. The less medicine we our in our bodies the better off we will be as we age.
Another great side effect to a consistant workout routine is the lowering of bad cholesterol in the blood. By dropping this level less people will be prone to heart attack or other malidies of the heart. This will help to get you off medicines like lipitor and other cholesteral medications. Being able to stop taking these 2 medications alone will benefit your quality of life and save you money to boot. Your heart rate will come down. Your basil metebalic rate will go up. You will burn more calories than you ever thought possible by adding just 10lbs of muscle. All this can be done by following an exercise routine that taxes the body and tones and shapes your muscles
while repairing the years of neglect to your insides. You just need to take that first step like you all have. Hopefully we can spread the word and make fitness a part of everyones life in New Jersey. By the way Summer is here I bet that bathing suit you had last year is too big. Treat yourself and buy a smaller size.
