Get Mobile Before You Get Active
To help keep injuries at bay, establishing the necessary levels of joint
mobility
is a must. Spend time during your warm-up focusing on the areas of the
body that are designed to be most mobile, specifically
the ankles, hips,
shoulders and thoracic spine. You can enhance your range of motion in these four
specific areas
by including exercises such as kneeling prisoner rotations, arm
circles, hip hinges and standing ankle mobilization
in your dynamic warm-up.
These will help you to get more out of your movements once you dive into
the main
part of your workout session.
Weights for Seniors
One of the main concerns we have is bone density. All the experts now
encourage seniors to do
some type of weight training. This doesn't mean we have
to be "body builders", it only means that lifting
some weight helps the body
maintain our ability to create bone density. I have never recommended that
seniors
do anything that would be painful. And have used many times with seniors
that were not ambulatory. It is not necessary
to change your normal routines,
but only to add an additonal one that includes something of weight. Grab a quart
of milk, a can of something in the pantry and proceed to lift it - not once, but
several times - and with each arm.
It can be that easy. My training goes beyond
that, but I am not going to introduce you to anything you could not do
with or
without me. My goal is to motivate you into believing that your new routine is
going to help you maintain
good health - Easy as that.
