Welcome to part three of this series as we continue to discuss five main tips to aging gracefully and optimizing energy and body composition.
We covered diet big-time in the first two parts of this series, and in part three, we focus on the critical objective to move more and strategies to increase general everyday movement, which experts say is a more important objective than adhering to a devoted exercise regimen. You will hear about the dangers of what Katy Bowman has coined “lazy athlete mentality”, what happens to your body when you over exercise, and much more!
Stay tuned for part four!

There is research showing that what you do first thing in the morning has the most powerful effects. [14:51]
The brain research suggests that we can only truly concentrate on a peak cognitive task for around 20 minutes at a time before we zone out. [16:50]
You don’t need a gym to stay fit. [19:00]
You need a comfortably-paced cardio vascular routine. Keep it under your maximum aerobic heartrate.  [21:43]
