Hope everyone is staying safe out there! 💨 🌬️🙏🏽 This windstorm was and is no joke - Alaskans are tough.

Guess what? Another way to stay warm if your power/heating is out…Movement! 😆💪🏽♥️

If the family has wiggle bugs and scratching at the walls, set up a fun movement circuit. Make it fun and guaranteed to get you warm!

An example:
🌟squats or sit to stands
🌟jumping jacks or high knee marches
🌟floor push ups or counter push ups
🌟bent over rows
🌟deadlifts to overhead press

* use whatever you have for weight, get creative and modify *

The goal is to just move to stay safe, healthy and warm! 💪🏽

GET AKTIVE. STAY AKTIVE.
~We can help! ~
Great article with the various benefits and importance of exercise to help us, especially with aging. Quality of life, longevity, safety, independence, the list is endless. 💪🏽

“When you do resistance or strength training, very important chains of molecules that relay signals between cells are affected, and these changes linger in the body for hours after exercise, building up a cumulative, positive effect. Even a low-intensity strength and walking program has substantial benefits.”

Read about how NIA-funded researchers are seeking to better understand how strength training may contribute to healthier bodies as we age.
