Nicole's Fifth CBC segment is live! This one is about bone health : https://lnkd.in/gQ5xf44f

"Bone health is an important part of aging well, and it's something you may not know is lacking until a bone breaks. There are ways to keep your bones strong and healthy."

Listen to my third segment CBC Edmonton: FALLING RISK. 'With all the ice and snow out there, it's no surprise falling is a big risk for many people. And if you're into your 50s and 60s or older, falling can lead to serious consequences. Nicole Lark is the owner of Breathe Fitness. She's a personal trainer who focuses on working with older adults.'

Just Keep Movin’: Movement Snacks
- According to the Stanford Center on Longevity, “exercise snacks offer numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, muscular strength, and cognitive enhancement.”

- When at home or at the office, consider keeping resistance bands, a yoga mat, or a few dumbbells near your desk or couch.
Set alarms on your phone with reminders to incorporate “movement snacks” for a few minutes several times per day.
Consider pairing your movement snacks after each meal/snack - this will help you build consistency around the habit, and it will also help you control your blood-glucose levels.

- More about the second-funnest form of snacking here: https://lifestylemedicine.stanford.edu/what-are-exercise-snacks-and-why-are-they-important/

How much time do we spend being sedentary?

- Some simple strategies you can implement to encourage more movement into your day are: pacing while on the phone, standing on one leg while brushing your teeth to practice your balance, stretching or doing mobility drills while watching t.v, or going for a walk during your child’s extracurricular activities.

- These small but beneficial opportunities can add up fast—according to a 2020 Australian study: “accumulating activity may be a choice strategy for improving glycemic control in those with and at risk of diabetes.” Remember that small amounts performed on a consistent basis can add up to big changes over time.

Even when it’s difficult (even maybe more so, when it’s difficult), it is always important to include some movement into your day. For humans, and all other animals, physical activity improves physical performance and staves off muscle loss (preventing muscle loss is one of the main ways to stay healthy and maintain independence as you age). Breathe Fitness specializes in building exercise routines across multiple spectrums (age, fitness level, exercise experience, physical literacy), and over the next few weeks, we want to talk more about, how and why, to keep your body in motion!
