"Rucking" for better health and fall prevention
from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.
Osteoporosis is not necessarily a problem until the fall and the subsequent crash to the hard hard ground. So what can we do to help prevent the falls in the first place?!? In this episode we will discuss some concepts around core strengthening and balancing exercises which can not only improve your muscle strength, but your brain as well. I have been carrying a weighted pack ("rucking") for years now most times I am out for a walk and I love it! Building resilience to falls, building bone and muscle density, and creating strong neurological pathways are all concepts to really consider as we advance in age. Doing so may just make all the difference in the world.
