This website is about YOU and I and Why we should be concerned about our fitness when we are over 50??
Let’s look at the reasons why we need to be concerned:
Some Realistic reasons:
. Without regular exercise, people over the age of 50 years can experience a range of health related problems including:
A. Reduced muscle mass, strength and physical endurance;
B. Reduced coordination and balance;
C. Reduced joint flexibility and mobility;
D. Loss of sexual performance, function;
E. Reduced cardiovascular and respiratory function;
F. Reduced bone strength;
G. Increased body fat levels;
H. Loss of core memory functions;
I. Increased blood pressure;
J. Increased susceptibility to mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression;
K. Increased risk of various diseases including cardiovascular disease and stroke.
SHITE: What can WE DO ABOUT IT??
Simple, “Get Your Ass off the Couch NOW.”
Bone – bone density begins to decline after the age of 40, but this loss accelerates around the age of 50 years. As a result of this bone loss, older people are more prone to bone fractures. Exercise may help to reduce the risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercise, in particular, helps to keep bones healthy and strong.
Joints – the joints of the body require regular movement to remain supple and healthy. In particular, people with arthritis can benefit from aerobic and strengthening exercise programs.
Body fat levels – carrying too much body fat has been associated with a range of diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Regular exercise burns kilojoules, increases muscle mass and speeds the metabolism. Together, these physiological changes help an older person maintain an appropriate weight for their height and build.
So there are some of the important reasons for Getting Your Ass Off the Couch.
Yep, no need to procrastinate anymore as 50up fitness is here for YOU.
Do we need to be stereotyped into BEING MADE TO LOOK OLD, by having to go to the bowling club or local club and play the Pokies all day???
The answer is NO.
Why should I get off the Couch???
Well let’s look at the friggin benefits ay.
Some of the many benefits of regular exercise for us over 50’s include:
HEALTH WARNING:
DO NOT USE ANY NEXIUM PRODUCTS. If suffering long term reflux - suggest seeing a dietician and leading a healthy lifestyle, exercise daily with your hour of power, don/t smoke, have alcohol in moderation, but exercise regulary. Nexium is a quick fix. Only. Follow the stated information with correct diet and exercise.
SOME BENEFITS FOR US WORKING OUT:
Muscle – the amount and size of muscle fibers decreases with age. Some studies suggest that the average body loses around 3kg of lean muscle every decade from middle age. The muscle fibers that seem to be most affected are those of the ‘fast twitch’ (phasic) variety, which govern strength and speedy contraction. There is evidence to suggest that these changes are related to a sedentary lifestyle, rather than age. Muscle mass can increase in the older person after regularly exercising for a relatively short period of time.
Heart and lungs – moderate intensity exercise is most favorable: for example, exercising at about 70 per cent of the individual’s maximum heart rate (220 beats per minute minus your age). Studies show that cardiorespiratory fitness takes longer to achieve in an older person than a young person, but the physical benefits are similar. Regardless of age, people are able to improve their cardiorespiratory fitness through regular exercise.
WHATS NEXT???
Friggin Exercise amongst other things:
EXERCISE – What works for You, might not Work for Me. By the time we get to our 50’s we have brought a life time of experiences with us. We have some good Scars on our memories, Some Bad. Don’t let those bad scars stop you from getting an exercise program together. In fact, make your exercise program the forefront of a NEW Lifestyle Change. You are never too old to change for the Better You. One constant in life and that is Change.
TIME TO PULL THE FINGER OUT: But First, remember;
1. If you are over 50 years, obese, suffer from a chronic illness or have been sedentary for some time, see your doctor before you start ANY exercise workouts;.
2. Choose activities you find interesting. You are more likely to keep up with an exercise workout if it’s fun rather than a chore;
3. Exercise with friends. Make physical activity an enjoyable social occasion;
4. Safe, easy and comfortable forms of exercise include walking, swimming and cycling;
5. Weight training can increase your muscle mass – programs as short as six to eight weeks can be beneficial;
6. Start off slowly and aim for small improvements. Keep track of your progress in a training diary for added motivation;
7. Check your pulse frequently to make sure you aren’t overdoing it, wear a heart monitor when working out;.
8. Choose appropriate clothing and safety gear; Rebel Sports has lots of it;
9. Don’t let yourself dehydrate – drink plenty of water, at least 2x litres a day;
10. Don’t forget the mental part of your exercising, ie, play chess, Sudoku, read a lot, keep your mind as active as your body.
11. Always carry a medical pouch, id, next of kin contact details, when working out, on walks etc.
What the heck is the VO2 Max?? - Well it is a standard to measure ones aerobic fitness. This measure tells you how much oxygen your body can convert to energy for use during working out. Did you know - its alot harder to run in colder climates because the running in the cold forces your body to use oxygen more efficiently. more detail at this link
NOW LETS GET OFF THE COUCH AND GET STUCK INTO THAT Positive Lifestyle change called Working Out, (exercising). Get off the couch - Your Hour of Power is Here.
Can working out strengthen your brain?
That’s the question that a group of scientists at the University of South Carolina have been studying recently: they assembled mice and assigned half to run for an hour a day on little treadmills, while leaving the rest to laze about in their cages without exercising.
Earlier studies have shown that exercise sparks neurogenesis, or the creation of entirely new brain cells. But the South Carolina scientists were not looking for new cells. They were looking inside existing ones to see if exercise was whipping those cells into shape, similar to the way that exercise strengthens muscle.Eureka!
The scientists found that physical exercise literally strengthens the brain by creating new mitochondria (the power plants of your cells) in your brain, or at least in the brains of mice.
When they examined tissue samples from different portions of the exercised animals’ brains, they found markers of upwelling mitochondrial development in all of the tissues. Some parts of their brains showed more activity than others, but in each of the samples, the brain cells held newborn mitochondria.
There was no comparable activity in brain cells from the sedentary mice.
Mouse Brains Comparable To Human Brains? From The New York Times:
Like muscles, many parts of the brain get a robust physiological workout during exercise. “The brain has to work hard to keep the muscles moving” and all of the bodily systems in sync, says J. Mark Davis, a professor of exercise science at the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina and senior author of the new mouse study, which was published last month in The Journal of Applied Physiology.
Of course, this experiment was conducted with animals, and “mouse brains are not human brains,” Dr. Davis says. “But,” he continues, “since mitochondrial biogenesis has been shown to occur in human muscles, just as it does in animal muscles, it is a reasonable supposition that it occurs in human brains.”
Best of all, the effort required to round your brain cells into shape is not daunting. A 30-minute jog, Dr. Davis says, is probably a good human equivalent of the workout that the mice completed.
Just 30 Minutes Of Jogging Will Do The Trick
A daily half-hour jog? Everyone can make time for that. As I advocate in my book, Get Out! 150 Easy Ways for Kids and Grown-Ups to Get Into Nature and Build a Greener Future, here’s just one more reason to go outside and exercise! What are you waiting for?
