　　由衷感謝新藥物在保健上的進步，現在，大家都能比以前更長壽了。一個人就算活到了六十歲，都還能被稱為「年輕人」，就算到了八十歲還一條活龍也不算古來稀了。我的母親，現在已經九十歲了，還是照常開車上教會和超市，她最喜歡做的事情就是跟朋友打橋牌和旅行。許多年前，她開始每天早上做伸展運動，還有走路上班，當她七十歲的時候，她開始規律的上健身房運動。 　　因為現在我們可以活得更長，因此學習怎樣照顧自己的身體，變成一件非常重要的事情。如果我們能到七老八十的時候，還有保持肌肉與骨骼的強健，那麼我們的生活品質將會變得更美好。如果到老還能擁有健康的心臟與肺，那麼我們將更能領略生活的樂趣。誰會想要自己成天苦於關節僵硬與疼痛，然後什麼事情都不能做呢？ 　　我們的身體就好像機器一樣，需要維修保養，以避免生鏽和老舊。Stacy老師在這本書中介紹的運動，能夠非常完整的維護到你的全身。這些運動簡單易做，你可以在家裡或任何地方進行。運動並不需要很辛苦或忍受疼痛，但卻需要堅持規律運動的承諾。這本書中的運動正可以讓你堅持下去，因為他們非常安全，而且只要求你花一點點的努力就夠了。你將會對你外表的改變與美妙的感覺充滿驚喜，並且只要你能養成每天運動的習慣，用不著多久，你就會擁有一個健康強壯的身體。 　　不要等到明天了！就是現在，趕快翻開書開始運動吧！讓Stacy老師的微笑，和她健康活力的外表，成為你每天運動的最好陪伴，因為你的身體真的值得你每天多一點關心與照顧。   Thanks to medicines and improved health care, people now live longer then ever before.  A person in his sixties may still be called “young,” and it is not unusual for someone to remain active in her eighties. My mother, who is 91 years old, still drives her car to Church and to the supermarket. She loves to play bridge and travel with her friends. Many years ago she began doing stretching exercises each morning and walking to work every. She started exercising regularly in a gym when she was 70 years old！  Because we now live longer, it is important that we learn how to take care of our bodies. Our quality of life will be so much better if we keep our muscles and bones strong even in our 70’s and 80’s. We will enjoy life much more if we have a healthy heart and lungs in our later years. And who wants to suffer from stiff, painful joints that keep us from doing the things we want to do？ Our body, like a machine, needs maintenance to keep it from getting rusty and falling apart. The exercises that Stacy introduces in this book are perfect for easy maintenance of your entire body. They are easy to do and can be done at home or any place you choose. Exercising doesn’t have to be regularly. The exercises in this book are perfect for that. They are safe and require only a little effort. You will be surprised how much better you look and feel, and how much longer you will have a strong and healthy body, if you cultivate the habit of daily exercise. Don’t wait until tomorrow! Open the book and start now! Let Stacy’s Smiling face and healthy, energetic appearance be your daily companion as you give your body the care and attention it deserves each day.
