Did You Know?

Maximal oxygen consumption peaks at age 35 and begins to decrease between the ages of 50 and 60. The greatest decrements occur after age 60. Regular cardiovascular exercise can help combat this problem. In my February newsletter, I will be dedicating the Exercise tip of the Month section to "interval Training," which is finally becoming more common in training programs for laypersons. Initially, it was an activity only "athletes" practiced, but many others are finally hopping on board and reaping the benefits of this efficient, yet challenging, type of conditioning.
