Prioritise Your Health and Strength as You Age
I was very busy in my sewing studio today but I did make sure I finished the day with a short workout.
I prioritised core strengthening poses and moves because it's currently a goal of mine to strengthen my lower back, abs and hip flexors. 6 minutes is the longest stint I've done on my Feet Up in 2023! Yay progress feels great.
It's always important to prioritise your health and particularly strength as you age. Here are six ways to do that:
- Exercise daily even if it's brief
- Drink lots of fluids
- Get some fresh air and sunshine as often as you can (weather permitting)
- Incorporate some strength training into your exercise regimen - body weight workouts are good enough! You don't need a ton of equipment.
- Limit alcohol consumption to Dr. recommended daily intake or less
- Participate in activities to relieve stress (e.g. meditation, mindfulness, walking, be in nature)
Maintaining your body is the best gift you can give yourself.
