Genworth’s collaboration with Mayo Clinic to offer Live+Well is the first time a long term care insurance provider has engaged a leading health organization to encourage and support healthy lifestyles. This complimentary wellness program provides Privileged Choice® Flex policyholders and their spouses or partners access to Mayo Clinic’s health-related online and telephonic tools, services and educational information, without having to file a claim.

Why is a Wellness Program Important to Your Clients and Prospects?Maintaining good health is twice as important as any other factor when people reflect on how long they want to live.1 The good news is that behavior is something we can change and control. Yet tools to help manage and maintain a healthy lifestyle may seem scarce when clients are approaching or are in their retirement years.

The Live+Well Wellness Program is another reason to buy long term care insurance today. Policyholders and their uninsured spouses or partners can begin maintaining and improving their health with Live+Well now, giving them value today.

INSIDE: Take 5 for your health 2 • Osteoporosis and exercise: What to keep in mind 3

If you love your heart, take it for a walk – or a bike ride, swim or hike. Physical activity helps keep your heart strong and healthy, and it reduces your risk of a fatal heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

What kind of physical activity best delivers these heart-healthy benefits? Here are some insights.

Q: What are heart-healthy exercises?

A: Physical activities that get your heart beating faster than usual and are at an intensity that you can sustain are called aerobic exercises – and it’s these kinds of exercises that boost heart health. Examples of aerobic exercises include:■ Brisk walking ■ Jumping rope

■ Jogging ■ Bicycling

■ Dancing ■ Stair climbing

■ Rowing ■ Swimming

■ Cross-country skiing ■ Playing fast-paced sports (such as soccer or basketball)

■ Using a treadmill or elliptical trainer

Q: How intense does my workout need to be?

A: The intensity of an exercise is how hard it feels to you. Taking a leisurely stroll on a beach, for instance, would be at an easy intensity for most people. A brisk walk, on the other hand, is characterized as moderate intensity, while running or jogging is considered vigorous intensity. To benefit your heart, you should be working at a moderate or vigorous intensity level.

Q: How do I know my heart is getting an optimal workout?

A: Experts recommend using the “talk test” to see how hard you’re working. If you’re exercising at a pace that allows you to talk, but not sing, you’re probably exercising at the right intensity level.

Q: How much aerobic exercise do I need each week?

A: That depends on the intensity of your workout. As a general rule, you should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity every week. You may need more physical activity if you’re trying to lose weight.

Exercise: Your heart’s best medicine

Exercise cautionsAlmost anyone can do aerobic exercise. However, if you have a chronic medical condition, ask your doctor about the kinds of physical activities that are best for you. You should also consult your doctor before starting a new exercise program if you:■ Haven’t been physically active in the past,

especially if you have risk factors for heart disease

■ Are planning a very vigorous exercise regimen■ Are middle-aged or older■ Feel dizzy, breathless, or have pain

or pressure in your chest, neck, shoulder or arm during or after physical activity

To check your heart rate during exercise, stop moving and take your pulse for 10 seconds. Multiply this number by 6 to calculate beats a minute.
