Name: Grace

Age: 91

I studied skiing in my forties. On a skiing trip, I broke a rib(肋骨).As the years passed, I developed bad backache. I could not breathe well. I tried an exercise program. For six weeks, I exercised three times a week, two to three hours a day. I did weight(重量)training, bike and breathing exercise.

Finally my breathing improved and the backache disappeared. Exercise played an important role in my improvement.

Name: Robert

Age: 80

Since I retired(退休)in 1987, I have exercised five times a week. I strongly believed exercise stops me from illness. My present exercise includes bod strength(力量)work using weight machines(15-20 minutes every day),two miles on a running machine(25-30 minutes every day)and five miles on a bike(20-25 minutes every day).

Name: Lucy

Age: 66

I attended my first dance class 23 years ago. In the beginning, it was difficult to follow quick movements, but I tried to keep doing it for six weeks. Now I am still taking dance classes twice a week. My backaches disappeared years ago and I am full of energy. Dancing helps me in making better decisions and feeling warm outside in winter!
