To keep your mind sharp, learn something new on a regular basis.  Your brain needs to be exercised by reading, taking a class, doing crossword puzzles or playing some other mind stimulating game.

To promote foot health, do this simple exercise once daily.  Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor, raise your toes up and down slowly for 25 repetitions, hold for the count of five, turn your feet outward and repeat, then turn your feet inward and repeat.

A study by the Southwestern Health Institute in Phoenix discovered that three out of 4 people who exercised in the morning were still exercising a year later.  However, only half of those who waited until midday to exercise were still continuing their exercise habit a year later.
