Brad: Five Tips To Aging Gracefully, Part 3 - Increase General Everyday Movement

Welcome to part three of this series as we continue to discuss five main tips to aging gracefully and optimizing energy and body composition. We covered diet big-time in the first two parts of this series, and in part three, we focus on the critical objective to move more and strategies to increase general everyday movement, which experts say is a more important objective than adhering to a devoted exercise regimen. You will hear about the dangers of what Katy Bowman has coined “lazy athlete mentality”, what happens to your body when you over exercise, and much more! Stay tuned for part four!    TIMESTAMPS: Move more frequently. Even if you exercise regularly, the amount of sedentary time you have can negate your fitness. [01:14] Your body does not like to become exhausted and depleted by excess energy expenditure in the form of an overly stressful exercise regimen. [03:49] Kaiser Family Foundation’s study shows a correlation between kids’ fitness levels and academic performance. [06:52] There is research showing that what you do first thing in the morning has the most powerful effects. [14:51] The brain research suggests that we can only truly concentrate on a peak cognitive task for around 20 minutes at a time before we zone out. [16:50] You don’t need a gym to stay fit. [19:00] You need a comfortably-paced cardio vascular routine. Keep it under your maximum aerobic heartrate.  [21:43] Sit on the floor instead of a chair. Move your workspace into different positions.
