Stick to your New Year's resolutions for your vision's sake!

The number one New Years's resolution is to start a fitness program.  Sticking to it is the challenge.  Motivation sources are often helpful to keep going.

Excersizing at least 3 times per week can slow the progression of macular degeneration.

The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends:

Adults:  2 ½ hours moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity per week

Children:  60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity per day

Create a fitness plan that is easily integrated into your lifestyle.  Exercise with the entire family, or a friend. Take the stairs, choose the furthest parking spot at the mall and do a few jumping jacks during TV commercials.  As funny as it may sound,  every little bit helps.
