Exercise Reduces Illness: Rowing Through Life!

Good health fostered through exercise limits the severity of illness and minimizes chronic disease. We sort of knew this for a long time that there is a relationship between moderate exercise that leads to improved health. There is also research that moderate exercise also increases mental health outlook. You can read a study on exercise and improved health and body defense systems. HERE.

This morning I went down and rowed. I'm on a Master's training team which doesn't really mean masters but if I wanted to compete I could and hope to do it. When I started I was in the high numbers per my 500m but that number has improved substantially with adjusts in body mechanics. ERG training is about practicing form while improving general health. 

When that snooze button goes off it is so easy to skip and I have done it a few times. These are 1 hour sessions and people are up early to get it done. Its impressive to watch. Good people enjoying life. If your not involved in sports, clubs, or community activities it really can improve the enjoyment of our time. Do what makes you happy.

Being connected and gaining wisdom are really the only two joys of life. The rest is just life dressing that enhances and distracts us from the essentials. However, as a good piece of advice, as you go through your life eat well, laugh a lot, and engage in a healthy lifestyle! See ya on the water! Keep rowing through life!
