As we experience this warm weather please make sure to drink lots of water, wear sun protection, and stay in air conditioned spaces when possible! Seniors are more vulnerable to heat related illnesses, so it’s important to check in with your loved ones. ☀️🕶️

This reel demonstrates some of the Power Training Exercises we provide with Best Life Aging PTs. Lots of research suggests that as we age, the first aspect of our muscles that we lose is the speed in which we are able to contract our muscles to perform certain tasks (aka muscle power.) These are known in fancy fitness terms as type 2 fibers.

In order to combat the decline of type 2 fibers we have to work in ways that activate these fibers, with the Need for Speed 🚗 🚗!!!! Work in low rep ranges (3-5 times) and higher sets (4-5 groups.) The weight should be low to moderate with lots left in the tank at the end of each set. You should feel just that you are just about to feel a little tired by the last rep. The key is to limit fatigue because fatigue slows the movement thus working other muscle fibers. Take long rests between sets (2-3 mins) and make sure you have something in front of you if needed for balance.

Have a wonderful summer everyone and get after it 💪💪☀️☀️☀️

Welcome back to another post in our Foundational Movements Series☀️☀️

For part two we will be discussing the split squat. This movement is a great example of a semi single leg compound movement. This movement is important for daily activities such as tying shoes, picking up to grab an object and knee stability during hiking or walking. It is important that we gain full range of motion before we begin to load this movement (ideally floor- half a foot from the floor.)

This movement helps with gaining strength in our quads and glutes. Some Variations include the following.

-Partial bodyweight Split squats (great place to start)

-Lunges (great way to work on strength and power)

-Assisted split squat (Using a heavy band strapped overhead, this can help allow you to get lower to help assist with the up portion of the movement)

Make safety the number one priority!! Have some sort of support in front and make sure good technique is done before moving on.

Reach out to us today and see how I can support you in reaching your physical goals🌸🌸💪💪💪💪

Hello all and Happy Spring, I want to bring to you the first part of my 6 part series on foundational movements incorporated into our daily lives. These movements are the framework in which we setup our programs here at Best Life to help serve our clients to reach their goals🌸🌸

For part 1 of our series, I am performing an example of a hinge motion in the form of a kettlebell deadlift. Whenever we bend down to pick up an object or tie our shoes, we always perform this motion. It is important that we maintain this with good technique by hinging at the hips first before you bend your knees slightly to prevent injuries and to make the movement easier.

Adding load is a great way to simulate and apply the adaptations in buttocks, hamstrings and lower back needed to perform the movement with specific loads you might experience in everyday life such as picking up a bucket of water.

Other versions include the following

-Stiff Leg Deadlift
-Single leg Romanian Deadlift
-partial Deadlift

Stay tuned for more of this 6 part series💪💪💪🌸🌸🌸🌸

Doug (87) is enjoying playing soccer for his balance exercises. This is a great and fun option for training all planes of motion. These include..

-Frontal (Side to side motions)
-Sagittal (Front to back motions)
-Transverse (Twisting motions)

Life is full of situations where it is important to move in all these planes and therefore it is very important that we work in all the planes of motion.

The unpredictability and focus of soccer is great to work on reactionary balance. Life is unpredictable and oftentimes we are focused on other things while moving such as holding a conversation while walking.

ALWAYS make safety the number one priority such as with a railing as seen in this video while still finding ways to challenge yourself.

Amazing work Doug!!!💪💪💪🌸🌸🌸🌸
