Yup, it’s that time of year. How many of you resolve to exercise in 2026? A new study touts the benefits of high intensity exercise, claiming that 1 minute of intense movement gives a better health outcome than two hours of low intensity exercise. This is an oversimplification. Don’t believe it!

We won’t go into why these findings are shaky here. For that, go to Peter Attia MD for a long explanation. But the bottom line is, it depends.

For most of us, mixing it up is still the best way to go. Go on long walks where you can have a great conversation with a friend. Hike up a mountain with weights in your back pack so you get a variety of intensities from somewhat breathless to feeling like you can’t keep a straight face anymore. :)
And also do so interval training in a controlled environment - go hard then moderate on a stationary bike for example.
Hard = can’t really talk. Maybe one word sentences like “help”. ;)
Moderate = you can talk a bit. But you can’t recite a poem.
Low intensity = you can probably sing. Get into an in depth conversation. This kind of exercise you’re doing more for you nervous system and mind than improving your cardiovascular system.

You need to do high volume of moderate intensity to create a base for the high intensity.

She’s a little silly, this lady. My mom has always had a good dose of whimsy and fun in her. This whole healthspan thing has become a bit of an obsession. I think about it too. But I think this North American “get s**t done” mindset is a bit impoverished. When is the last time you sat in a cafe with a cappuccino, pain au chocolat and a book to catch the crumbs? Next time you’re out doing errands, balance on a parking curb, jump up to see if you can hit a leaf off a tree, or , like Mom, put ear plugs up your nose. 😂 no, actually, don’t do that. 😁

Tuesday is admin day. Gotta get 2025 taxes sorted! Nutmeg makes my task if not easier, far more enjoyable. Thanks, my beauty queen!

Oof. What starts as a minor inconvenience turns into major functional limitation and pathology as the years progress. Stretch and strengthen your hips in a variety of ROM as well as circumstances - on and off the floor without your hands, step ups, yoga stretches, climb over boulders. You can bill your insurance if you book a one on one with me. Let’s stretch together for 30 minutes, once a week. I promise you, you will love how you feel and move after 8 weeks. 💕
