Strength training doesn’t have to mean heavy lifting 🏋️ With 𝑩𝑭𝑹 (𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏) 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃3 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔, you can build strength and endurance using light weights that feel heavy—𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 ❌

✨ Why chiropractors recommend b3 bands:
✅ 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 – Perfect for women with arthritis or anyone easing into strength training.
✅ 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 – Just 20 minutes can deliver the benefits of a full hour of traditional training.
✅ 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 – BFR training triggers growth factors that support recovery, metabolism, and whole-body health.
✅ 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 – Use them with squats, lunges, curls, presses, or even simple walks.

🔥 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵: 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑨𝒃𝒔

🤔 When most people think of core training, they picture endless sit-ups. But 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 core strength is about 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.

Here are some 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓-𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 to build functional core strength:
☀️ 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐤𝐞-𝐔𝐩 – Lie flat, raise your legs ~15 degrees, and trace slow circles clockwise & counterclockwise. This activates the deep stabilizers that protect your back.
☀️ 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Stand tall, lengthen your spine, lift your tailbone slightly, and tighten your rib cage like you’re zipping up a jacket.
☀️ 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 – Planks, side planks, and bird dogs. Focus on quality of movement and breath, not speed.

‼️𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: your core isn’t just your abs—𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎. Strengthen it daily, and you’ll 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭, 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 🚶

🏁𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭:

🔥 Modify on a wall or counter if needed, and work down to the floor as you get stronger.
🔥 𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞 4-𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐱: 20 seconds of push-ups, 10 seconds rest, repeat for 8 rounds. This will activate your chest, arms, and core.

𝑨𝒅𝒅 𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇:

⚡Incline push-ups on a bench
⚡Tricep push-ups with arms close to your body
⚡Push-ups with shoulder taps or slow handles
⚡Push-ups on handles for advanced strength

💡 These variations not only 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘀, but also carry over to everyday life—lifting groceries, shoveling snow, or carrying kids and grandkids.

‼️If you could do just one lower body move for life, 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒕. Why? Because 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀—getting out of a chair, rising from the floor, gardening, or picking up heavy objects—𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁 🪑

💡 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆:

💪 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫!

Most people think getting stronger means pushing to the max every session—𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒋𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆.

Here’s how strength training 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 works:

✅𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 (≈70% 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭): Keeps you moving, maintains fitness, but doesn’t push growth.
✅𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 (≈80% 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭): The sweet spot! This is where progress and strength gains happen.
⚠️ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 (≈90% 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭): Great for short bursts—use sparingly to avoid overtaxing your body.
❌𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 (100%+ 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭): Risky territory—injury and burnout live here.

🏋️ Consistency in the 70–80% range with occasional short pushes to 90% is the 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍, 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 ❤️‍🩹

💜𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – stairs instead of elevators, squat to pick things up, carry groceries in both arms. Small choices add up.
💜𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (2–3x/week) – 20 minutes of squats, push-ups, core or grip training. Using B3 bands? Even faster results with less stress on your joints.
💜 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 70–80% 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 – challenge yourself, but avoid the burnout and injury zone.
💜 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 – alignment and nervous system balance keep your muscles firing efficiently so every rep counts.
💜 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – store heavy items low or high to lift/reach, play with your kids, climb, run, and move with joy.

🌀 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒍𝒚 𝑹𝒉𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒎:

☀️ 2 short strength sessions
☀️ 1 outdoor active play day
☀️ Daily movement habits

Just because you can’t do high-impact workouts anymore doesn’t mean there’s no point in exercising. 𝐈𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐞.

A 2020 study in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy showed that chair-based exercise improves:

✅ Strength
✅ Flexibility
✅ Cardiovascular health
✅ Mental well-being

Try these from your chair:

🪑 Seated marches to get your heart rate up
🪑 Arm raises (with or without weights or resistance bands)
🪑 Ankle circles to keep circulation flowing
🪑 Seated twists to wake up your spine and core

At our clinic, we combine these gentle movements with light-touch chiropractic care to support your nervous system, improve coordination, and help you feel grounded and confident in your body.

Let’s retire the phrase “𝙄’𝙢 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙨𝙮.”

Coordination is a trainable skill, just like balance and strength. And you can train it at any age. 💃

When it comes to aging and exercise, there’s way too much misinformation holding people back.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 #1: “𝙄’𝙢 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

❌ Wrong.

One study from the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity found that even folks in their 80s and 90s gained strength, balance, and improved mood from simple movement routines.

You don’t need a gym history—you just need to begin.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 #2: “𝙀𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠.”

🚫 Nope.

Smart movement beats hard movement—especially as we age.

Walking, gentle strength training, and mobility work can be more effective (and safer!) than punishing workouts.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 #3: “𝙋𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧.”

🚨 No—it’s a signal, not a life sentence.

Aches and postural tension often come from poor movement patterns or nervous system imbalances.

That’s where light-touch chiropractic care makes a difference—supporting your nervous system so you move with more ease and less tension.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 #4: “𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

👎 If you can wiggle your fingers, you can move.

If you can hum a tune, you can breathe intentionally.[Text Wrapping Break]Every small action you take tells your brain and body: We’re still in this.

Let’s rewrite what aging looks—and feels—like!
