-Lack of exercise is a major cause of chronic diseases. Exercise decreases our risk for 35 chronic diseases including diseases of aging (Booth et al, 2012)
-Research suggests that sleep and exercise exert substantial positive effects on one another and that exercise is associated with better sleep efficiency and duration (Dolezal et al., 2017). – Exercise as a treatment to enhance sleep. Buman, M. P., & King, A. C. (2010).
-The better quality the muscle, the more effectively it can convert glucose to glycogen for storage. In fact, it has been proposed that impaired glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle is the primary defect that precedes pancreatic cell failure and leads to type 2 diabetes (Bayol et al., 2014).
-Even one night of poor sleep can cause the cells to become insulin resistant and the body’s ability to properly dispose of glucose decreases by approximately 30-40% (Morselli et al., 2010).
-The progressive loss of muscle mass (and the simultaneous loss of strength) is associated with a range of other conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, disability, increased risk of falls and fractures, osteoporosis, loss of physical dependence, cognitive decline and depression (Volpi et al., 2004)
-Women with higher relative levels of lean body mass are less likely to develop vasomotor symptoms as they transition through menopause .Woods, R., Hess, R., Biddington, C., & Federico, M.. (2020). Association of lean body mass to menopausal symptoms: the study of women’s health across the nation. Women’s Midlife Health, 6(1).
-It has been shown that even one session of resistance exercise upregulates circadian clock genes and can improve both cell and tissue health (Wolff & Esser, 2019) Current Opinion in Physiology

This could maybe be the same one that is on YouTube? It was just posted a couple days ago I believe. If not, sorry for leading you astray 😁!!

Hi Scott, you noted in another post about your migraines. I thought I recognized you as an admin! I’ve been around here since 2014. 🙂

Eh not really. Still trying to find the source. But my GP changed my medication so instead of taking 4+ hours for relief, the new one took about an hour. So that’s a move in the right direction!

My mom is committed to her workouts but she is only doing cardio. I try to convince her to do more strength training but she says she is “too old.” Her biggest issue is she has a hard time with floor exercises and needs to do more standing or chair workouts where she does not have to get up and down. Ironically, if she did more strength workouts I have no doubt she’d be able to do floor exercises again! Would you consider doing a workout series or program dedicated to standing exercises only? I want to try to get her to do the Bunny Slope workout but she’s convinced she can’t do it. But I know she can! She has been exercising since the 80s: she can do it, just has to break free of the cardio-only as its an old school way of thinking its the only way to weight loss. I know if she got into strength training, she would have so much more progress and maintainence. Appreciate your consideration.
