A.T. "Al" Benelli, CFP, FIC Recently our government released figures showing that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our nation rose by 3.5 percent — the first increase in five calendar quarters. The Dow Industrial average rose 200 points as various pundits declared the end of the worst recession since 1929.

Protect Your Joints - Preserve Your Energy - Promote Your Safety

What do these three words mean for our human body? When we PROTECT our body, it means that we are protecting it against injury; like protecting our head with a helmet when we cycle. We protect our back from injury, by bending our knees instead of our backs when lifting a heavy box. We protect our ankles by wearing hiking boots, when we go hiking; so that we do not stumble over uneven surfaces and strain our ankles. We wear waterproof clothing when it rains, so that we are protected from getting wet; the wetness can cause a chill, with a potential chill that can threaten our health.

What Makes a Good Exercise for Baby Boomers?

Easy is Right! I am a baby boomer and although I have practised some form of exercise most of my life, I still feel, for example, that training to run faster or for longer periods is not really what my body needs now. I have heard the same from other over 55’s. At this time of life, although not really ‘old’, most of us feel we need to nourish our body and be careful not to waste or scatter our energy. It is not a time of life when we have so much vitality that we don’t know what to do with it, which un-channelled too easily leads to simply wasting it!
