Two studies c onfirm the importance of getting fit regardless of age!

The recommendation is 60 minutes of “vigorous” physical activity every day – and it’s safe to say that most of them aren’t getting this amount! Janet (who has raised active teens) and Emily (who will be!) talk about the necessity of good, long-lasting exercise practices.
