hitting the gym might be the last thing you want to do after a long day at the office. we all know that feeling. but new research explains why it's important to remain fit as you age. >> reporter: a new report confirms what many may feel. fitness levels begin to decline in middle age. but we need to keep working out anyway. with the benefits of a healthy lifestyle helping to stave off disease and other effects of aging. a study finds that men and women gradually become less fit as they age and the declines accelerate after age 45.

unfortunately, low fitness levels increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. and reduce a person's ability to live independently in old age. but researchers found that older adults who adopt healthy lifestyle habits such as reducing body weight, increasing aerobic exercise and not smoking maintain higher fitness levels throughout adult life than those who don't. the research demonstrates a need for doctors to encourage their patients to get into shape and trim their waistlines. otherwise more will reach at a younger age the fitness level designated by the social security administration as representing disability. got new information just in for you, all four members of the first family have gotten their seasonal flu vaccine. some of you have been paying attention to this. malia and sasha were vaccinated for h1n1 last week. this is when the vaccine became
