	Facts, Information, Insights, and Interesting Quotes "In the United States, every 8.4 seconds, another baby boomer turns 50. From 1990 to 2020, the elderly population is expected to increase to 54 million persons. At the current rate of growth, there will soon be more grandparents than youth. Americans 50 and older control 70% of all U.S. wealth, bring in $2 trillion in annual income, own more homes than any other age group, account for 50% of all discretionary spending, and purchase 41% of all new cars. 16 million exercise at least three times a week. They spend more per capita on groceries, over the counter and other health products, travel and leisure than any other age group." - Today's Senior Magazine, September 2006 �It is safe for most adults older than 65 years to exercise. Even patients with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis, can exercise safely. Many of these conditions are improved with exercise. If you are not sure if exercise is safe for you or if you are currently inactive, ask your doctor.� - The American Academy of Family Physicians �Every American should accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate intensity physical activity over the course of most, preferably all, days of the week.� - American College of Sports Medicine, Center for Disease Control, National Institute of Health, and the Surgeon General of the United States. �The Health Benefits of Physical Activity and Fitness� by Robert G.
