FREE!!.... thank WQPHN ... What to bring: water bottle, sweat towel and a smile ~Why Lifting weights is so important as we age~ The aging process is a daunting and inevitable one. Which is why effort and action must be taken to improve the overall health, longevity, and quality of life. Despite this, 80% of adults are not engaging in enough physical activity to reach prescribed guidelines. In general, but especially for seniors, inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle are extremely dangerous. What are the dangers exactly? Increased risk of serious adverse health conditions such as blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, obesity, cholesterol issues, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancer, depression, and death from any cause. In 2008 there were 5.3 million deaths worldwide caused by a lack of physical activity out of the 57 million deaths worldwide. Many people know weightlifting is hugely beneficial but think light walking or recreational activity is good enough for seniors. There is this misconception that older aged individuals should stay away from any strenuous activity that can build strength like weightlifting. Continuing on completely unaware of the benefits of strength training. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

13.01.2022 Have been asked about strapping the past few days ... to strap, not to strap... what type of strapping .... Wells here’s a bit of strap info... Pulled muscles, tendons, sprains or tissue injuries are some of the most common complaints that sports people have while performing, can and will taping can help? Sports taping involves applying tape directly to the skin to stabilise and neautralise vulnerable muscles, joints and ligaments. While sports’ taping is not seen as a guara...ntee against injury it can have a number of benefits. There are commonly 2 sub categories of sports tape: Supportive/ Rigid Taping:- Rigid taping is the most common technique and has been used for a very long time in sport. It is used primarily on joints such as ankles, knees, wrists, elbows and shoulders. The role of the tape is to physically support the joint by limiting movement. The tape is primarily used in returning to sport after a joint sprain, for example an ankle sprain. It provides support and stability that gives the athlete confidence within the joint. Rigid tape should only applied prior to activity and removed after the activity completed. Kinesio Taping:- Kinesio taping works entirely different to rigid. The tape is quite stretchy and is applied in a stretched position. Because it is stretched, it bunches once applied. This bunching lifts up the different layers of skin, fascia and muscles which encourages blood flow and lymph drainage within the area. This tape does not restrict joint movement, rather it increases joint proprioception. This is very effective in rehabilitating post an ankle sprain, as often the joint is weak and feedback from the joint to the brain for positional awareness is reduced. The tape provides a stimulation of the skin that alerts the brain to the area, thus more muscle and joint activation. Kinesio taping is also very good at reducing swelling and bruising. Another benefit is that kinesio tape can be kept on for 5-6 days post application and can be worn through vigorous training, swimming and showering. To sum up, both tapes are very effective when applied properly.... however I personally use KT more so then rigid

11.01.2022 Very often I hear... I can’t do that exercise it’s bad for my knees... back... and oh my arthritis is playing up today .... Advice to rest and avoid pain is commonly provided to people with knee and other joint pains. This advice is often wrong, and harmful. Inactivity and rest makes pain and osteoarthritis worse, not better in the longer term. Our joints need movement and exercise to stimulate repair and keep them strong. There is undisputable evidence that staying active a...nd regular participation in exercise is safe and will help improve pain, and a person’s quality of life. This is true for knee osteoarthritis, low back pain and almost any other painful conditions. Though you might think exercise will aggravate your joint pain and stiffness, that's not the case. Lack of exercise actually can make your joints even more painful and stiff. Exercise actually strengthens joint-supporting muscles. It’s generally the weakness of the muscle surrounding the joint that makes it hurt due to poor muscoskeletal biomechanics (the way you move). Correct form/ Movement lubricates squeaky joints, strengthens muscles and increases flexibility, all of which improve quality of life. hump ...

04.01.2022 Pop in and ask about all options available to get lifting, breathing and sweating ... #exerciseismedicine 10 benefits of weightlifting for age-related muscle loss/sarcopenia for seniors As age increases, muscle mass and strength decreases. From age 50 muscle mass begins to decrease by 1-2% annually. In your 50s, muscle strength starts to fall by 1.5% and from age 60 and older it begins to decrease by 3% annually. ... It is estimated that 5-13% of elderly people in the age range of 60-70 years old and 11-50% for those aged 80 or above suffer from sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). This issue can lead to an increase in frailty and a significant increase in the risk of falls. The continued loss of lean muscle mass with age adds to the development of age-related metabolic dysfunction. The Verdict Weightlifting is the most effective treatment to prevent, slow down, or partially reverse age-related muscle loss/sarcopenia. Don't forget about fending off the detrimental health issues that come with it as well.
