Getting older is a natural part of life, but getting old is all in the mind. Those two things are not the same, by the way: getting older and getting old. The former means the physical age your body gets to as the years go by. The latter refers to your behaviors and beliefs as you age. Many people believe as they get older, they must start slowing down, or accepting certain limitations. They believe they can not run as far, or lift as much, and it's those beliefs become reality, even when, for the average person, nothing could be further from the truth.

Traditionally, many children grow up thinking of conditioning activities as a punishment for poor behavior. Late for gym class? 25 push-ups. Talking too much during volleyball practice? 10 laps around the gym.

However, conditioning is an essential method of building muscle strength, flexibility, and overall athlete readiness for an active lifestyle, and coaches and parents should work to remove the negative connotations it can carry.

Recent article on Fitness Statistics by Sarah Marshall at MyFit.ca gave this sobering summary, ” More than 60% of adults don’t get the recommended amount of regular physical activity. Worse yet, 25% of all adults are not active at all! Nearly 50% of young people age 12-21 are not vigorously active on a regular basis. Only 19% of all high school students are physically active for 20 minutes or more in physical education classes every day during the school week. “. How do you measure up?
