  • “Lifting weights will make you bulky.” 🙀 That is so far from the truth ❤️ Even though I hear people say they believe that I still tend to see women steer clear of the weight room & head straight to cardio bar 💪 Some key points here: Women don’t have enough testosterone to put on as much muscle as men. (Women have 10 to 30 times less testosterone than men!) Lifting weights is actually better for improving body composition. Lifting weights is better for boosting metabolism. “Your metabolic rate is directly related to your muscle mass and body fat percentage. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn at rest, and the muscle damage that results from strength training also increases metabolism post-workout” (via @chris.rocchio_fit) Weight training not only strengthens muscles, it strengthens your bones. Weight training increases bone density, which reduces the risk of fractures and broken bones. So don’t skip the weights ladies ;) Your body will thank YOU!

  • The YMCA 3-minute step test was used to estimate VO2max. The test works by having the participants do 12-inch step-ups for three minutes, with 24 step-ups per minute at a pace dictated by a metronome. After the test, heart rate is measured for one minute. VO2max is then predicted by using the equation (for men): 111.33 – (0.42 x heart rate in beats per minute). This prediction has been shown to correlate well with measured VO2max (r = 0.83) in the general population
  • Sitting for more than six hours a day increases your chances of death by up to 40%. • Sitting makes you fat. One in every three American is obese and one of the major causes of this is an inactive lifestyle. In fact, it is estimated that obese people tend to sit for two and half hours more per day than thin people.(The rate of burning calories drops significantly when sitting down. Sitting causes the good cholesterol levels in the body to drop by 20% and the enzymes that are responsible for breaking down fat to drop by 90%.) • People who carry out desk jobs are at a greater risk of suffering cardiovascular problems. • Those who sit all day also have a greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes. • Sitting for too long was associated with a higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer.
  • Wolff’s Law states that bone grows and remodels in response to the forces that are placed upon it. Davis' law states that soft tissues' tendency to shorten and contract unless subject to frequent stretching
  • When you’re exposed to bright lights in the evening, it can disrupt your body’s melatonin production – the hormone that makes you feel sleepy. If you have trouble falling asleep or don’t feel rested after a full night’s sleep, try avoiding bright lights and electronic screens for 1-2 hours before bed. Keep up the habit, and you can help your body learn to associate the evening with sleep, leading to regular melatonin production and helping you establish a healthy sleep routine.

  • The older we get the more important exercise becomes. Were you aware that the cardiorespiratory system is affected by aging and by a sedentary lifestyle? Vssels become stiffer and elasticity is lost in cardiac tissue including the heart valves. This results in high blood pressure and higher resistance to flow which creates more work for the heart. Also. Because collagen fibers in the lungs also lose elasticity and bronchioles lose thier tone less air can we move per minute in an older adult. The result of all these processes is that older individuals have a lower overall exercise capacity and then any given exercise intensity represents a higher percentage of their maximum
  • Here are Five things to consider when controlling impact forces
  • Exercise improves Ejection Fraction With each heartbeat, the heart contracts (or squeezes) and relaxes. Every contraction pushes blood out of the two pumping chambers (ventricles). When when heart relaxes, the ventricles refill with blood. The ejection fraction (EF) refers to the amount, or percentage, of blood that is pumped (or ejected) out of the ventricles with each contraction. This percentage, or EF number, helps your health care provider determine if you have heart failure or other types of heart disease.
