Exercise.. so much more than staying skinny!!!

I would like to tell you guys a little bit about moving our gorgeous body's!!
Shaking your booty is just as important to our health than the way we eat and think.Mind, body and soul are connected and only if we take care of all elements we will live a happy and healthy life.
Our body's are made for action.It is the only machine in the world that works better and gets stronger the more we use it.Muscles were made for movement.Without exercise we begin to slowly deteriorate.Like a car parked in the driveway and never used,rest brings rust.



Health benefits of regular exercise

FIGHTS OSTEOPOROSIS
