Here are the two videos members will receive this week. In the "WALKING BALANCE EXERCISES" video, I will take you through several balance exercises that are done by different types of walking - try doing this in a hall inside (with shoes on and then off) and also outside on uneven surfaces (if you feel comfortable). There are 10 exercises, performed 4 laps each. Increase as needed. This video is designed to help improve your balance, coordination, and gait speed/form. In the "NAD+" video, I am going to be discussing what NAD+ is, what it can do for the body in supplement form, and why it's trending now. Enjoy!
I get asked a lot - how much exercise should I be getting? How many days should I be strength training? Should I change it up? All valid questions and to answer you..."it depends!" Ha! BUT, let me share my general guidelines!
1). AEROBIC ACTIVITY: 150+ minutes a week (this can include any cardio exercise that gets you breathing hard and heart rate up). Try walking, biking, swimming, tennis, mowing grass, JENNY FIT START videos (duh!), etc.
2). STRENGTH TRAINING: Strive for at least 3 days a week that works all major muscle groups. I think it's OK to do a little every day as long as you are not "maxing out," and you are not experiencing any soreness. I personally do it every day.
3). STRETCH: every day! Keep those muscles long, lean, loose, and free from injury!
** Most importantly, do exercises you enjoy! That is the most sustainable! And, YES, change it up - you must make a change to see a change - the muscles like consistency, yes, but they really like lots of different types of activities!
** And, remember, if you are a beginner, you don't have to jump start with all of this right away - start slowly, and gradually build up to this!
