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!
