As our population continues to age, we are seeing more older people staying in the active workforce much longer than in the past. People into their 60's, 70's and older are continuing to work for various reasons. This also means that working everyday can take a harder toll on the aging body.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). How the trend of people who are getting to retirement age or older and are staying employed or continuing to work is growing.

2). How working longer into your older years and not taking care of your body take a certain toll which risks injury or long term chronic pain.

3). Why incorporating strength training routines in your weekly workout is key to helping keep your body protected when performing lifting and or moving type activities.

4). The effects that can occur on your body when you sit at a desk for a long period of time.

5). How to stay motivated to exercise regularly when you have a busy work schedule even after you hit retirement age.

We hope the exercises we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be an older worker. Staying in the workforce can be beneficial financially but we must also recognize that the physical side of working longer needs to be tended to as well. Keeping you healthy well into your later years no matter what your situation is always our goal!

5 Helpful Exercises For People Still Working After Reaching Retirement

Osteoporosis (moderate to severe bone loss as we age) is becoming a very common condition in modern day adults. As of now, 54 million people age 50 or older have osteoporosis or are at risk of getting it. About 9 million people have osteoporosis; most are White or Asian American and about 20 percent of American women over the age of 50 already have osteoporosis. (HealthyAging.org)

With these kinds of statistics it's easy to see the growing problem that people are encountering as they age. Fortunately through exercise, we can help curb the effects of this disease and allow those who suffer from it still lead very normal lives.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of the common feedback we receive from subscribers and followers on how their degrading bone density is affecting their lives and limiting the amount of activities they can participate in.

2). Why it's important to communicate with your doctor and PCP and to make sure you are cleared for lower impact/slow exercise before you attempt to start.

3). How simple lower body exercises can help build strength in your bones as well as activities like regular walking using gravity as your counter weight can make a big difference.

4). Why regular stretching throughout your body is very helpful when doing exercises to build up your bone density and how it helps keep your joints and muscles flexible and loose.

5). Meredith's recommendations of how often you should exercise and what types of exercises you should do during the week to help build your bone density and strengthen your muscles around them.
