Hi there
Nordic poles are trending.
While walking is the single greatest exercise you can do everyday, when you add nordic poles you up your cardiovascular gains AND you add upper body and core. Want to read more? I wrote a freelance story a few years ago about nordic walking and was astounded by the benefits. Walking - with or without nordic poles - is the single greatest activity for your health. But are yo old school aiming for 10,000 steps? Did you know a huge study revealed it is 7500 is the magic number for longevity and reduced rates of chronic illness?
But, as a health and wellness coach, I will say with conviction that walking is your first step - and then you need to add layers
- You must add load-bearing activities, such as my STRONG classes (One SHORT program included in this dynamic newsletter!). As we age, we have to place exertion on our bones, and strength training is now considered one of the most important benchmarks of longevity.
- You must add cardio training - and ideally improve your V)2 Max. This refers to your ability to utilize oxygen, and improves through intense training like HIIT (high intensity intervas training) and SIT (spring intensity)
- Mobility and flexibility are a daily "MUST" - think of the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz. That is your bones, muscles and ligaments as you age. The way to combat this is mobility training
As you aim for 150-300 minutes of exercise weekly, it can be confusing.
How do I figure out how much strength vs cardio?
What if I have never strength trained?
How do I get my heart rate up safely
