Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Use it or lose it

     Earlier this week I posted those graphic MRI photos of leg muscles in triathletes and sedentary men.  Older athletes did preserve their leg muscles.
     Another study done at the University of Western Ontario studied the arm muscles of various runners.  As you would expect, the older runners' arm muscles had declined with age.
     Exercise only preserves the muscles that you actually use!

Have a nice weekend, everyone.
I'm sorry about the scanty blogs lately.  I have been having computer problems, and am not at all tech-smart.
Technology is fantastic....when it works.
