CRANKY KNEE JOINTS & SQUATS

Cranky knees CAN become aggravated after squats or sit to stands.

That doesn’t mean this exercise is “bad or damaging” for the knees.

It just means the knees are SENSITIVE to this movement.

Sit to stands whilst pushing off the arm rest or using a suspension trainer (or kitchen bench) are great alternatives that can help de-load the knees whilst giving you a chance to improve lower limb strength 😊

Muscle Mass Significantly Decreases After 60

This can lead to losing the ability to perform simple tasks, such as lifting overhead! 😮

However, you can combat this loss of muscle mass by performing simple resistance training exercises 💪😃

Example, the shoulder press (as seen in the video)👍

Two sets of 10 repetitions done three times a week would be plenty!

Make sure it’s a weight you could comfortably get the allotted repetitions out.

If your shoulder pain is limiting you from performing this exercise DM us to find other ways to improve shoulder strength

EXPLOSIVE POWER TO DECREASE FALLS

* Power based exercise (ability to generate force quickly) are key to decreasing falls risk
* Lack of leg power can indicate an INCREASE risk of falls!
* Power based exercises don’t have to be complicated. Exercises like sit to stand or lunges will help improve lower limb power 💪 😊👍

As we move into the cooler months, it is important to consider that painful joints (e.g osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) can become aggravated. Particularly in the cool at night or in the morning. 🥶 😣

Whilst cold weather doesn’t cause arthritis. In those living with this condition, cold weather can increase the joints pain sensitivity

If this is you- We would love to help develop a plan to decrease and manage these flare so that you can continue to stay active 💪😀
