WACO, TX<\/strong> \u2013 For the more than 65.2 million women of Generation X, women in their 40s or 50s today, finding time for self-care may seem impossible. More often than ever before, this generation of women finds itself balancing the roles of primary caregiver in the family and full-time employee in the workplace, leaving little time to spare for self-care, especially fitness. This is a problem that needs to be addressed, according to Krishea Holloway<\/strong>, Curves President and CEO<\/em>, because research points to the important role that physical activity plays in improved health and longer life.<\/p>\n According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health,1 \u201cChronic diseases are major killers in the modern era.\u201d The researchers go on to say that \u201c\u2026conclusive evidence exists that physical inactivity is one important cause of most chronic diseases\u201d and conclude that \u201c\u2026 physical activity primarily prevents, or delays, chronic diseases, implying that chronic disease need not be an inevitable outcome during life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe connection between physical fitness, better health, and even increased lifespan is clear,\u201d says Holloway. \u201cThe problem for Gen X women is finding the time to invest in their own health. For an increasing number of women, Curves\u2019 effective HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts that take just 30 minutes are the answer. And the good news is that it\u2019s never too late to start exercising or to step-up your exercise plan. The time you invest now will help ensure a healthier future.\u201d<\/p>\n With tongue-in-cheek, Curves urges women not to think of fitness, forties, and fifties as negative \u201cf\u201d-words, but to add them to a list of good \u201cf\u201d- words like fun, free-time, friendship, flattering, fearless, and fabulous. \u201cGen X is often spoken of as the forgotten generation,\u201d said Holloway, \u201cadding another negative \u2018f\u2019-word to the list. But that\u2019s not true at Curves. Curves cares about all women, and nobody provides comprehensive fitness and wellness support for women over forty like Curves does.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WACO, TX<\/strong> \u2013 For the more than 65.2 million women of Generation X, women in their 40s or 50s today, finding time for self-care may seem impossible.
