The weight room at the gym can be an intimidating place. The equipment looks like it could crush you if you use it wrong. People grunt as they haul heavy things up and down. And why don’t these machines come with instruction manuals, anyway? 🤔

Figuring out how to start strength training as a beginner can be tough, but it’s worth the effort. Modern exercise science shows that strength training offers a host of benefits, like stronger bones, decreased inflammation, lower risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, plus better sleep, mental health, and cognitive function. 🧠And, of course, stronger muscles. “We start to lose muscle tissue as early as our 30s if we don't [work to] maintain it,” says exercise physiologist Alyssa Olenick. Fortunately, getting started is simpler than you might think. Many of the basic moves you probably learned in grade-school gym class can be the foundation of an effective routine. 🏋️‍♀️ If you need help putting together an exercise program specific to your requirements, contact us as our exercise physiologists can offer face to face or telehealth consult.

Getting started is simpler than you might think.

Previous research shows that as many as 50% of older adults globally have sleeping difficulties, and it is not uncommon for adults aged 60 and older to have the sleep disorder insomnia. Past studies show that insomnia may increase a person’s risk for several health concerns, including heart disease, depression, cognitive impairment, dementia and risk of falls. 💤

There are a number of lifestyle changes that people can make that can help fight insomnia, such as avoiding caffeine a few hours before bedtime, keeping a consistent sleep schedule, managing stress, and increasing daytime physical activity. 💪 Now, a new review of the evidence recently published in the journal Family Medicine and Community Health reports that resistance or strength training might be the best exercise for treating insomnia in older adults. 🏋️‍♀️ If you need help putting together an exercise program specific to your requirements, contact us as our exercise physiologists can offer face to face or telehealth consult.

Resistance or strength training might be the best exercise for treating insomnia in older adults, a new study suggests.

When it comes to increasing your levels of physical activity, anything is better than nothing. "I always tell my clients that the best exercise is the one you're willing to do," says Austin "Ozzie" Gontang, a licensed psychotherapist and the director of the San Diego Marathon Clinic. But sometimes it can be helpful to find forms of exercise that mimic activities you are already used to doing, which is the very philosophy behind functional strength training. 💪

"Functional strength training mirrors movements you do every day, which then increases your ability to perform those daily tasks with greater ease," says Gontang. 🏋️‍♀️ If you need help putting together an exercise program specific to your requirements, contact us as our exercise physiologists can offer face to face or telehealth consult. Here's what functional strength training does is, and some more about its health benefits: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2025/02/28/what-is-functional-strength-training/79461209007/

“It’s really important for maintaining muscles, bone mass and keeping you doing the things you want to do, no matter your age. Remember, it’s never too late to build muscle or to build bones.

Dawn breaks, but does that mean you should break into a sweat? The morning vs. evening workout debate has long simmered, with advocates on each side professing that their way of working out is better than the other. 🏋️‍♀️

People generally fall into one of the two camps—those who like to “get it out of the way” in the morning, so they can feel better about themselves throughout the day as the endorphins trickle through, or those who prefer an evening workout to wash away hours of slouching in front of a screen. But is sunrise better than sunset when it comes to getting sweaty? Or do those fitness night owls have it right when pumping iron as dusk settles? 💪 If you need help putting together an exercise program specific to your requirements, contact us as our exercise physiologists can offer face to face or telehealth consult.
