Wellness

Wellness is a state of optimal well-being that broadens, extends, and reaches beyond the traditional ideas of fi tness and health.

Exercise has many benefits — it can make you feel good, look good, and even ward off some diseases. It’s recommended that teens exercise at least 60 minutes a day

Just because you’re not sick does not mean you’re healthy.

We can do nothing without the body: let us always take care that it is in the best condition to sustain us.

Balance

Wellness requires a conscious commitment and the appreciation that everything one does, thinks, feels, and believes has an impact on the well-being of self and others. This positive and holistic approach to living is the quality of life we enjoy when the physical, psychological, spiritual, social, and environmental dimensions in our lives are in balance – when no dimension is being neglected or overemphasized.

Edward Stanley: Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to fi nd time for illness.

The three components to a well-balanced exercise routine are:

• Aerobic exercise

• Strength training

• Flexibility training
