Reduce the Risk of Stroke, Osteoporosis & Other Chronic Diseases
A simple way to get healthy.
Did you know that regular physical activity has been associated with reduced risk of the following chronic diseases: heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, hypertension, stroke, cancer, depression, and anxiety?!
Time to get movin'!
In honor of National Senior Health & Fitness Day, here are a few exercise resources for the 65+ crew:
FREE FROM THE WYNTER WELLNESS GROUP
YouTube Exercise Playlist for Seniors - (ex: 10-min indoor walking, seated Bruno Mars Silver Sneakers class, daily stretches, etc...)
PRODUCTS FROM THE WYNTER WELLNESS AMAZON SHOP
Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser - $101. 99 (detachable arm resistance bands, 16 levels of resistance, LCD monitor)

The American College of Sports Medicine, the CDC, and the American Heart Association recommend 3 to 3.5 hours/week (about 30mins/day) of exercise for seniors. If 30 minutes a day isn't possible because of YOUR chronic conditions, not to worry - some physical activity is better than none! You should try to be as physically active as your abilities allow.
Of course, before beginning any new exercise, consult with your doctor and have a physical activity plan developed with a health professional (ex: primary doctor, senior nutrition specialist, physical therapist, dietician, personal trainer specialized in 55+).
It would mean the world to me if you shared this with someone you think could benefit! It's always part of my mission here, to increase health literacy -- when you know more about your health, you can make informed & educated decisions that could improve and possibly prolong your life!
Be well,
Alex
