Darnell Cox Instagram – 🤔Are you exercising the best way for YOUR age?
📉In our 20’s, with the decrease in collagen, which causes our connective tissues gets stiffer. Joints, ligaments, facia… These can become stiff with age.
📉I’m our mid 30’s, we begin to lose muscle mass, which can affect everything from our metabolism to our mobility as we age.
🤷♀️So now what?
🤔what can you do to combat this decline?
👇
Here are my Top 5 Healthy Aging movements to incorporate into your exercise routines for optimal function & mobility in your 50’s, 60’s & beyond!
🙆♀️Stretching will help your muscles, joints and connective tissue to stay limber, which will decrease your chances of future injuries.
🏋️♀️Weight bearing exercises help to maintain muscle mass and increase bone density. This is crucial for strength, mobility, and a healthy metabolism later life.
⚖️🤸♀️Balance exercises help to strengthen the core, decrease your risk of falls, and are even good for brain health. 🩼🤕 I like to add single-leg weight training as well as vibration plate workouts.
🏃♀️🥵Short bursts of vigorous exercise. The getting chased by a tiger kind of vigorous exercise improve the overall function of the heart. I like 3 sets of 20-second cardio blasts with a 1 minute rest in between. I do this 3x/week.
🚶♀️Long walks are great for endurance and overall health. Get outdoors and travel some distance a few times per week.
