Welcome listeners! I'm absolutely thrilled to share this week's episode of "Retirement Rebel Life After 60" with you. Today, I had the honour of chatting with the incredible Alex Rotas, a true pioneer in challenging the stereotypes that surround ageing. Our conversation is one that I believe many of you will find both inspiring and empowering.One of the key subjects we delved into was how Alex uses her photography to combat the often negative and limiting images of older adults that pervade our media. She captures vibrant, active individuals in their sixties, seventies, eighties, and beyond, participating in competitive sports. These images are not just pictures; they are powerful statements that redefine what it means to age. Through her lens, Alex shows the world that being older doesn't mean being inactive or invisible, but rather, it's a time when many continue to thrive and pursue their passions.Another fascinating topic we discussed was Alex's extensive travels to document these amazing individuals. She travels to events like the World Games, photographing athletes who embody the spirit of active ageing. Hearing about her adventures highlighted how important it is to see and celebrate older adults who are challenging the norms and pushing their boundaries. These stories are a testament to the fact that getting older can be a time of endless possibilities and new experiences, and it's essential that these narratives become more visible in our society.Lastly, we explored Alex's compelling film projects, "Older" and "Younger." These documentaries feature older athletes and truly bring their stories to life in a moving and impactful way. As Alex and I talked about these films, it became clear that they are more than just documentaries; they are conversations that challenge viewers to rethink their assumptions about ageing and consider a more nuanced and positive perspective.I invite you to join us in this episode as we celebrate the incredible work of Alex Rotas and the dynamic individuals she showcases through her photography and films. If you're looking for inspiration and proof that life after 60 can be vibrant, active, and full of adventure, this episode is definitely for you.

If you're sedentary and begin to exercise, you get a dose-dependent decrease in mortality, diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, coronary disease, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, falls and more People who are doing the highest volume of vigorous exercise start losing longevity benefits. If you're doing full distance triathlons when you're in your 40s and 50s, your risk of atrial fibrillation increases by 500% to 800% In the case of moderate exercise — loosely defined as exercising to the point where you're slightly winded but can still carry on a conversation — there's clear evidence that more IS better and cannot be overdone Every 1,000 steps you get on average per day reduces your mortality by 10% to 15%. Benefits plateau around 12,000 steps (6 miles) a day Strength training adds another 19% reduction in all-cause mortality on top of the 45% reduction that you get from one hour of moderate exercise per day. However, benefits cease once you go beyond one hour per week. The sweet spot is 20 to 40 minutes of strength training, two to three times a week. Above 60 minutes per week, the benefits of strength training are nullified, and you're worse off than if you did no resistance training at all.Regular moderate exercise is highly beneficial for overall health and longevity, while excessive vigorous exercise may have detrimental effects. Key Points: Sedentary individuals who start exercising experience significant health improvements, including reduced risk of mortality, diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, coronary disease, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and falls. Engaging in extreme levels of vigorous exercise, such as full-distance triathlons, can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation by 500% to 800%. Moderate exercise, defined as exercising to the point of being slightly winded but able to maintain a conversation, consistently demonstrates dose-dependent benefits. Every 1,000 steps taken daily reduces mortality by 10% to 15%, with benefits plateauing around 12,000 steps (6 miles) per day. Strength training complements moderate exercise, offering an additional 19% reduction in all-cause mortality. The optimal duration is 20 to 40 minutes per session, two to three times a week. Exceeding one hour of strength training per week nullifies the benefits and may even increase health risks.

"Moderate exercise can also help to improve balance, strength, and flexibility, which can help to reduce the risk of falls."

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Wilson from Critical Bench to discuss the importance of training and exercising for the older population, specifically those aged 60 years and older. As we age, our bodies undergo many changes, including a decrease in muscle mass and a decline in neuromuscular control. These changes can lead to an increased risk of falls and other injuries, as well as a decline in overall quality of life.Chris emphasizes the importance of changing how we move in order to help improve our neuromuscular control and prevent injury. He shares practical tips and exercises to help older adults move better, including the use of resistance bands, balance exercises, and bodyweight movements. By incorporating these exercises into a regular training routine, older adults can improve their strength, balance, and overall quality of life.Whether you're an older adult looking to improve your mobility and stay active, or a fitness professional looking to work with this population, this episode is packed with valuable information and practical tips for training and exercising in the later years of life.
