Strength isn’t optional if we want to influence how aging feels. If you’re just getting started, ease in. Squats holding on to the kitchen sink, push ups against the counter, just find a way to start working it in to your day. #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks #doyourwarmups #agingshouldntsuck
I know they’re not enforceable, but, side-street zebras are still making a big difference for pedestrians. A war on the motorist? Hardly.
Get all the juice in this week’s Sketch…

I know that some of the exercises that I do aren’t doable for everyone, but virtually everyone can find something they can do to start getting stronger. It will have a dramatic impact on how aging feels. #agingshouldntsuck #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks
Mobility is easy to take for granted but it’s eye opening when you feel it start to fade. The good news is that as long as we’re still breathing we can work on rebuilding strength and capacity. #agingshouldntsuck #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks #abalancedyou
Resistance bands are useful home workout tools because they’re inexpensive, don’t take up any space and they can increase your workout options. #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks #abalancedyou
Exercise snacks helped me become someone that exercises.Now I do longer workouts at the gym and at physical therapy but exercise snacks helped me build the habit and the addiction to feeling better. #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks #abalancedyou
Once you start looking for it you’ll find plenty of opportunities to work exercise into your daily routine. Going to the gym is great but don’t ignore the chance to push yourself a little outside of the gym. #startwhereyouare #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
Strength and balance are good things to have plenty of, but most of the time when I’m getting up from the ground I’m using a hand to push off. #startwhereyouare #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
Years ago, there was no way that I could do this, my knees hurt all the time. I still have the same knees but they’re not nearly as cranky as they used to be. #startwhereyouare #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
Unfortunately there’s no magic move that miraculously resolves back pain. Always check with your doctor, PT, or chiro this was just something calmed mine down occasionally. It’s a QL stretch and I’d do it for about 30-40 seconds a side. #startwhereyouare #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
This one works your posterior chain - hamstrings, glutes and back will all get a workout. I’ll might do some standing hamstring curls before hand just to have the hamstrings warm before you do this one. #startwhereyouare #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
Isometrics are where you push against an immovable object as hard as you can. This is a great leg exercise. You’ll do it with each leg. And you’ll be reminded that you can still do difficult things. #agingshouldntsuck #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks

“Exercise videos elicited significantly higher physical activity energy expenditure and enjoyment compared to the control video.”

This one is spicy. Calves, ankles and quads get worked with this one. Skip it if it looks or feels too demanding. A set of 10 is challenging. #agingshouldntsuck #startwhereyouare #exercisesnacks
Wall sits are a great exercise but once you’re finished you have to figure out a way to stand up. I usually just lean forward and push off the wall with my hands. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #wallsits
Exercise helps equip you to navigate day to day life. Improved strength and mobility are great but so is the confidence that comes with practice. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #lateralstepup
I frequently use a hand to push myself up if I’m sitting on the ground especially if I’ve done some exercise and my legs are tired. Finding a strategy that works for you is what’s important. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #groundtostanding
Hip flexor work will hurt your feelings and possibly knot up you quads for a little bit. It gets easier the more you do it. Not the greatest sales job for an exercise but your future you will thank you. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #hipflexors
A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds or just put on your shoes and go for a walk. Your body is begging you to give it something to do. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
Our balance can get better but it takes practice. Having something near by that you can steady yourself on is a definite plus. If you practice for just a few minutes a day before the month’s over you’ll start feeling a difference. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #balancetraining
Thanks to @John Hosten, DC, CCSP for this one! Lucklily I haven’t had SI pain in a while but this was a big help when I did. The first few times I did it my hamstrings cramped but they calmed down pretty quickly. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #si
If you’re just getting started, a 10-15 second wall sit will feel pretty challenging. The deeper the squat the harder this is. When you finish, lean forward and push off of the wall behind you. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #wallsits
I worked with John when he worked with another PT group and he was able to rehab a hamstring that had been bothering me for years. I was glad to hear that he had established his own practice @be_activerx #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #rehab
This is one of my early PT assignments and my granddaughter is a big fan. It will challenge your core, shoulders, glutes, legs, even your feet. Enjoy! #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #beastcrawls
This is a variation of a reverse crunch and it’s pretty spicy. I’d pass on it if you have back problems or you haven’t been doing much core work. A set of 10 is pretty challenging. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #corework
Single leg squats are challenging but it’s important to be able to control our rate of descent when we’re stepping down from a height. Every time I step down from our patio I’m reminded of this. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #singlelegsquats
I doubt my 3 year old granddaughter thinks about body mechanics or weight shift but it’s something her grandpa has become more aware of. Mobility or the lack of it can have a definite impact on how aging feels. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #mobility
Once you start exercising it’s not that long before you notice a difference. It’s subtle at first but it becomes something you don’t want to give up. Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks
