🔍 Is Your Spine Ready for Exercise?
Before starting or progressing your strength routine, it’s important to understand how your spine handles compression.

🧠💪 Move More, Sleep Better, Think Sharper!
A recent study of older adults found that doing moderate‑to‑vigorous physical activity (in bouts of at least 10 minutes) weakens the link between poor sleep efficiency and declines in memory, attention, executive function, processing speed, and working memory. Light physical activity also reduced the harm from waking up frequently during the night. The key message: more physical activity can help protect the brain, even when sleep isn’t perfect.
