#livinglife In the book I recently referenced in one of my previous posts - "Outlive" by Peter Attia, Peter makes a reference to preparing for the Centenarian Decathlon, a metaphorical/ real goal that we could pursue in our lives to live up to 100 years and then be able to complete a decathlon Just today, my colleague and I were talking about two nonagenarians in our family who have until very recently where very active, and lived perhaps feverishly independently in a way, that many of us would wish to be ourselves. The similarities with what Peter recommends and what these living examples have been doing in their lives, overlap significantly. For example, walking about 7-8 kms every single day of your life, to visit a temple near your home - it's one of the things these nonagenarians have done as part of their daily lives. Peter argues that you have to keep up the exercise routine to train your body for endurance, strength and stability - *forever*. This is not a weight loss fad. The key is to do something that you love doing for the rest of your life, and remain healthy in mind and body, because of it. It's spectacular, that how the cultures world over had elements of such healthy living built into daily lives. Speaking of the culture in which I have been raised, you could incorporate fasting in your fortnightly routine, you could do strength training or cardio if you took part in activities of your village or the local temple. Even games played outdoors built an element of stability training into them (remember hopscotch?) As we humans progress with great advancements in technology and living comforts, we also run the risk of compartmentalizing things a little too much - i.e. for example, going to the gym as the only and sufficient means to become healthy. The truth is, we need to scrutinize our lives more carefully to see what we do outside the time and space (like a gym) that we have set aside to meet our health goals

Transformational Wellness Coach and Teacher. I help people to work through the barriers, (the roadblocks) that keep them in a cycle, so they can finally transform their way of living to one that they truly desire.
The trick is balance. What does that mean? What do you want to be able to do physically for your life? Is it being able to get up and down from the floor with ease? Is it supporting your posture? Is it so you can travel & go up steps with ease? Is it to have confidence to be able to move with ease for everyday activities such as gardening, walking, mowing, house work, helping a friend build a fence… all the things we want to be able to do with ease? To be able to do these things, we will need to keep active.. keep our muscles alive and keep them strong enough to be able to keep doing those activities. We don’t need bulky muscles to do this. Functional body weight strength training, light to medium weight training… Let’s not make it harder than it has to be. Let’s find the harmony between preserving our energy & still maintaining beautiful strength for our unique lifestyle and daily physical demands that we each want to maintain so we can live the life we want.. with ease and flow. Also… it gets harder to maintain muscles as we get older… I think there’s a message in that too… Could the body be trying to find ways to slow the energy down so we don’t run out of steam and die younger? Mother Nature knows best!! To make it really simple…. Map out what you want to be able to do and keep doing physically as you age… and then do the things that will keep you strong enough to maintain them with ease. If you have any more questions, we are here for you 💗🤗 #theglobalwellnessmovement #strengthtraining #personaltrainer #holistic #fitness #exercise #longevity

Regular physical exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and good wellbeing. Everyday physical activity is crucial for maintaining good health and overall well-being, longevity and prevention of sedentary lifestyle effects. In today's modern society, many people have sedentary lifestyles due to desk jobs and increased screen time. Regular physical activity helps counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting and inactivity. It's important to note that everyday physical activity doesn't necessarily mean engaging in intense workouts daily. Simple activities like walking, cycling, swimming, gardening, or dancing can all contribute to a more active lifestyle and reap the associated health benefits. Just try little bit of everything and find something you enjoy the most. #physicalactivity #beactive #selfcare #exercise #mindfull #recruiting #searchfirm #professionalsearch #tips #longevity

Daily exercise has health-protective benefits, even in people who are sedentary for very long periods of time. In a new study from University of Norway, roughly 12,000 men and women over the age of 50 were sampled from Norway, Sweden and the US for 13 years. The purpose of the study was to find out how much exercise 🏃♂️ a person should aim for daily to counteract the negative health impacts of being sedentary and to help reduce their mortality risk. The findings of this study showed that being sedentary increased mortality risk by a whopping 38%. Most importantly, they found that 💥doing just 22 minutes daily of moderate to vigorous physical activity virtually ELIMINATED this risk, even in people who are sedentary for 12 hours out of the day. The researchers hypothesized that the health-protective benefits of consistent moderate to vigorous exercise can counteract and possibly reverse the negative impacts of being sedentary. What is most fascinating about this study is that you don’t have to exercise for very long to lower your mortality risk and brisk walking counts as moderate to vigorous exercise! Moderate exercise examples include: brisk walking, light cycling, yoga, pilates, gentle swimming. Vigorous exercise examples include: hiking, jogging, fast cycling, fast swimming, weight lifting, aerobics Does this study make you want to exercise more consistently?

Soul. Mentor. Somatic Awareness Coach. Qualified Trauma Specialist. Committed Dog Advocate. Creative Writer.
While regular exercise is important for most dogs, the type, frequency, and intensity of that exercise can vary. You have options. Meeting Energy Needs Indoors: Not all dogs require intensive exercise outdoors. With the right indoor activities, like playing fetch, tug-of-war, or even interactive toys, a dog can get a good amount of physical activity. Mental stimulation can also tire a dog out — so things like puzzle toys, training sessions, or even hide-and-seek with treats can be beneficial. Stressful Outdoor Environments: Some dogs, especially sensitive dogs or those with traumatic backgrounds, might find the outside world overwhelming. Noises, strangers, other animals, or even just the vastness of open space can be sources of anxiety. For such dogs, forcing daily walks can be counterproductive. It's essential to work on their confidence and slowly introduce them to the outdoors rather than push them into what could be a distressing situation. Other Ways to Socialise: If you're avoiding outdoors because your dog is reactive or scared, you can consider controlled environments like playdates with known dogs, or just sitting and watching the world go by in a big safe space. Over time, these experiences can help increase a dog's confidence. It's important to note too that walks aren't just for exercise. They offer sensory stimulation, opportunities for socialisation, and a chance for dogs to engage with their environment. If you choose to skip regular walks, ensure you're compensating with other forms of engagement. Always pay attention to the individual needs of your dog. If they're content, healthy, and their energy is appropriately channelled, you're likely on the right track, regardless of how often you venture outside.
