Life is motion; we are a species designed to regularly move. Movement is vital for health and optimal aging. Accordingly, inspiring you to move more is a major goal of this book, and my START MOVING NOW! program, which is based on articles I’ve written, will help you combat sedentary behavior. My goal for most people I work with is to move more during their waking day. The benefits of this kind of lifestyle change are plain—and supported by research. In fact, a June 2016 article in the journal Diabetes Care showed that people who break up their waking days with movement are likely to reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular complications. I encourage you to start moving more every day, and keep moving for the rest of your sure-to-be-vibrant life.

A New Fitness Team Is Forming

The medical community is now beginning to work closely with fitness professionals to help encourage people to get physically active. For its part, the American College of Sports Medicine has developed a new medical campaign promoting physical activity and exercise known as Exercise is Medicine (EIM). EIM is an international health initiative that encourages healthcare providers and primary care physicians to include physical activity when prescribing treatment plans for their patients. Many of these primary care physicians also refer their patients to credentialed exercise programs and certified exercise professionals. This collaboration between the medical community and fitness pros sends an invaluable message to everyone, regardless of their age: start moving, keep moving, and make exercise an essential part of your daily life. Remember, “Inch by inch, it’s a cinch.”
