Movement

Maintaining movement in our bodies as we age is critically important. Movement helps to mitigate the speed of sarcopenia, bone & muscle mass decline.

Exercises that include Dynamic Movement such as squat, lunge, push & pull are a great way to open your muscles & prepare you for an intense work out.

Musculoskeletal Strength is also very important. Having the ability to lift your own body weight is a great measure of overall fitness.

Cardiovascular fitness has many benefits, it can boost your immune system, can help better manage your weight & increase your stamina. You can increase your cardiovascular stamina by doing short workouts, long walks or even a HIIT classes. High Intensity workouts help us build endurance & increase heart rate.

Something often overlooked but incredibly important to our movement and the gateway to our entire stability, is our feet. Going Barefoot, arching and fascia focused work on our feet can help maintain the health and stability.

In peri-to-post menopause, the decline in estrogen is linked to a decline in collagen, influencing instability in tendons and slowing our ability to heal.

As we grow older it becomes critical to place importance on our movement. As our bodies age, they need more tending to & it is important we prioritize ensuring we feel comfortable making everyday motions with our bodies.
