Taking Honest Chances - MWM

There are many reasons why people may have stepped away or taken a break from regular exercise. Injuries can occur, unexpected illness or just life in general can throw us some curve balls that interfere with our lives. This is entirely OK and normal.

You can't control what will happen in life but you can control how to get back into exercising when you are ready and it may not always be very easy, especially if you've been away for a long time. Luckily there are a few things you can keep in mind when it's time to help keep you safe and motivated.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of the most common reasons why we take time off from regular exercise and how longer periods can make it more challenging when you are ready to start again.

2). Meredith shares many of the comments, feedback and stories that we receive from subscribers and listeners and some of their struggles with getting back into exercise.

3). Why starting off with basic stretching is important when you've been away and how this can help make the transition easier on your body.

4). How starting off with Low Impact Cardio Styleexercises are great way to get your mind and body adjusted to exercising again.

5). Why it's so important to not get discouraged when getting back to exercise and feeling like you aren't at where you used to be. It takes time and patience and you will succeed.

We hope these tips are helpful to you or someone you know who may be ready to get back into exercising after an extended time away. It may be easy to think that we can jump right back in where we left off but you will risk injury and other side effects if not done in the safest manner.

With a little patience and practice, you'll be feeling right at ease again with exercising and back on your way to a long and healthier life.

In this podcast episode Meredith shares her 3 best tips on easing back into exercise if you have taken a break or an extended time off.

3 Best Ways to Ease Back Into Exercising After a Break

As we age, it may be easy to assume that our memory will be affected and there is nothing we can do about it. This may be true for some cases but in reality, our memory and cognitive sharpness is just like any other muscle in our bodies.

The attention we pay to "exercising" our minds is just as important as staying in good physical health. The same habits that we use to stay physically independent can also be applied to our cognitive functioning including our memory.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of the things that cause us to think that we are losing our memory and cognitive thought as we get older.

2). Why in most cases, feelings of losing your memory shouldn't cause for concern in older adults.

3). How the study of aging and memory has grown over the past generations especially as a larger part of the population is aging well into their 70's 80's and even 90's.

4). How limiting distractions either by minimizing tasks or commitments can help "de-clutter" your mind and provide clarity for thought etc.

5). Why putting emphasis on a healthier diet is important to cognitive function and how it can help with memory and thought during the day.

We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be feeling like memory loss is becoming an issue. Taking the necessary steps to practice and exercise our memory function is something that can be done by all ages and should be included in normal self care practices. Keeping our bodies AND minds in shape is the name of the game to a longer, more independent, healthier life.
