  • WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

    1. "Old age" is not why we get arthritis - think about joint health as activity related, not age related.
    2. Hydrate - with clean water everyday - can take some pain away! AND your efforts in exercise and movement therapy won't be so severely diminished.
    3. The fascial net - the push/pull system in the body- is a major contributor to joint health. The Kinesiogramā„¢ is a great way to get your own personal report about your body and learn next steps for the BEST movement of your life!
    4. Move your joints in ALL the ways they can. Most people just move joints a few ways and that's it. Get creative and move in all directions. Take the joints to their capacity. This is great for nervous system health (brain connectivity), fluid flow, and the connective tissue is expanding it's function in new, important ways. This is important for range of motion, extensibility, and mobility. You are also taxing the muscle in a new way and that is extremely beneficial for body harmony.

  • This is a FUN episode about Michele's conversation with a French woman she met at a local beach while body surfing and snorkeling.

    The French Lady announces her confusion about "all this American Exercise" and tells us to "just live - move and live".

    Michele agrees but then explains in a bit of detail about what a person needs to do to get to a specific goal. However, the French Lady says, yeah, but the attitude, the emphasis - it needs to change. Michele agrees....

    You can do several things at one time - the social aspect, sun, air, movement and just live! Also, Michele tells a secret about how she got her muscles doing something very unconventional.... heh heh heh

  • IN TODAY'S EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

    KEY FACTORS IN GAINING AND MAINTAINING BONE DENSITY -
    Today, we are talking about optimal bone remodeling - where the bone building process is higher than the bone degradation process. This allows for better bone health.

    Here are the concepts to keep in mind:
    1. Strain Magnitude - The amount of relative change in bone length under mechanical loading to create a change. Need to bend the bone enough to elicit change without inducing injury. Jumping has more strain magnitude than tip-toe.
    2. Strain Rate - The rate at which strain develops and releases. Running has a faster strain rate than slow walking.
    3. Strain Cycle (frequency) - The number of repetitions that change the bone dimensions at any given magnitude. EG: how many times your legs turned over when running/walking. Like the distance.
    4. Strain Distribution - The way the strain is distributed across the bone. If you are always walking, the strain is distributed across the bone the same way all the time. Need to throw in some dancing or side stepping down a hill.
    5. Rest - resting between sets and sessions allows the bone to reabsorb fluid in order to recover properly and increase bone mineral density.

    PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
    You want to have an activity that has the MOST strain magnitude (force), with the most strain rate (pace), with the most frequency (reps/distance), and with the most varying strain distribution (angles).

    Obviously you need to mind your current level of fitness.
