Dust Off Your Sneakers...

Exercise Matters...
Pick up any health magazine or browse e-articles focusing on health and you'll see a common theme: exercise equals better health and can make a difference in how we feel.

Jorg Blech's new book, Healing Through Exercise: Scientifically Proven Ways to Prevent & Overcome Illness & Lengthen Your Life, handles the topic as only a best-selling science writer can. The author's main thesis is simple: a half hour of moderate, daily walking can be helpful.

Bob Livingstone's latest holistist title, The Body Mind Soul Solution: Healing Emotional Pain Through Exercise, suggests that moderate exercise (again, we're walking) can help lower emotional stress.

Also find @ your library a variety of exercise DVDs and soon to be replaced VHS titles for in-home use (general exercise or fitness, yoga, Pilates); check out East Hampton's very own exercise center Fit Trix, and of course, the East Hampton Parks & Recreation Department can always help you unlock the fun.

Needless to say, do not undertake any exercise program without best advice from your doctor.
