• Exercise for the Mind

Reviewing 14 studies in which supervised exercise programs were used to treat clinical depression, researchers found that patients with mild to moderate cases of depression who walked, ran or performed strength training three times a week for 20 to 60 minutes were significantly less depressed after as few as five weeks.

Studies that tracked subjects for up to one year found that when work-outs were kept up, the improvements continued. Exactly how physical activity keeps the mind fit isn't clear, but researchers speculate it may alter brain chemistry.

• ANTI-AGING EXERCISES

From an anti-aging perspective, the real question is not whether to exercise but more importantly, what kind of exercise, how much, and how often. This is where the secret is. To know the details is what separates the master from the amateur.

Anti-aging exercises consist of 3 separate components:

• 1. Flexibility Training
• 2. Cardiovascular Training
• 3. Strength Training
