Today I came across an excellent blog post “7 Reasons Older Adults Don’t Stay in Exercise Classes–And 7 Reasons Why They Should” by by Susan Ingraham, BCRPA-certified Fitness Instructor for the Older Adult (Vancouver, Canada). It’s well written, funny and gives you great info why older adults (And hey, at some point we will all be older adults) tend to stop going to exercise classes. And then she gives you 7 excellent reasons to keep going to class. In reading her post, it occurs to me that her reasons for older adults to exercise are pretty darn good reasons for younger adults to exercise too. Read it for a shoot of exercise motivation!
