There are many mental and emotional aspects that come into play not just for the person who experienced a fall but also surrounding friends and family. Falls can occur at any age but the most vulnerable are older adults or those with disabilities. Luckily there are a few easy things that you can do to minimize the risk of a fall to remain safe in your home or living space. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). What Falls Prevention Awareness Month is and why it has become so important to recognize each year. 2). Why it's important to highlight Falls Prevention Month in all independent and assisted living facilities. 3). The importance of including easy to follow balance exercises each week in your regular exercise routines which help build strength and stability. 4). How certain medications can cause problems with balance which can lead to falls and other physical complications and why it's important to discuss this with your doctor. 5). Why it's important to make sure any assistive devices like a walker or cane are regularly checked so they don't break or collapse which can lead to a dangerous fall. /// We hope the tips in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may have experienced a fall. Making sure to take a few extra steps in securing your surroundings to avoid the risk of a fall will go a long way to a safer, healthier, more independent life for you and your loved ones.

Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

FITPASS Co-founder Akshay Verma sits down with RJ Swati from Red FM to discuss how policy and perception have shaped the fitness ecosystem, and why making fitness affordable and accessible is essential for the nation’s health.

Maintaining a regular exercise schedule is one of the gold standard indicators of health and wellness and making sure your mind and body are in the best shape they can be. However, no matter how much we exercise there may always seem to be aches and pains and mental challenges that we attribute to living an active lifestyle. Surprisingly, there are many other factors that can affect the way your mind and body responds to daily life and one of those can most definitely be the weather. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Why we decided to dedicate an episode to this topic and how common it is to feel the effects of the weather and yet, not realize how much it is affecting you. 2). Insight into the comments and feedback we receive on our YouTube channel and website in regards to how different weather climates around the world affect others who live an active lifestyle. 3). How weather can affect you mentally and emotionally which can be challenging when trying to maintain consistency with exercise and diet. 4). How certain climates and weather changes can affect your respiratory system which can cause problems in your overall well being. 5). How constant weather changing patterns can weaken your immune system especially in those who may not be very physically active or overall healthy. /// We hope the tips in this episode are helpful if you are experiencing physical or mental challenges during your active lifestyle. The weather isn't usually something we focus on when it comes to staying active and healthy but it most certainly can play a role in how your body and mind respond to exercise and the everyday challenges we encounter.

Regular exercise is key to maintaining an independent lifestyle especially as you age. Keeping a schedule of workouts helps build consistency and confidence in sustaining a healthy future. But what happens when you hit a "funk" or encounter an unexpected injury that sidelines you for a period of time?

This can cause feelings of "falling behind" or lagging with your routine exercises. Luckily, there are some easy tips you can follow which will help you get back into the game and feeling great both in body and mind. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). What events, thoughts or circumstances in life can make us feel like we're not exercising enough and why this is more common than we may think. 2). Some of Meredith's personal experiences in working with clients over the years and their thoughts on keeping up with exercise and staying active. 3). Why it's important to not "over set" your fitness goals if you've been away from exercising for a long time or are just getting started. 4). The importance of finding workouts and exercises that you enjoy doing and how that's helpful for your motivation each day. 5). The physical, mental and emotional benefits of regular exercise and remembering why this is important for your overall and long term health. /// We hope the tips in this episode are helpful to you if you feel un-motivated to exercise after a long break or if you're just having trouble getting started for the first time.

On this week's episode of the CHASING CLARITY: HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I sat down with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple one of the top researchers in the field of female physiology to dismantle some of the most pervasive and misleading fragility narratives being pushed onto women in today's fitness space.From the hype around cycle syncing…To the claim that women can't build muscle without lifting heavy…To the myth that menopause kills your metabolism or that calorie deficits “don't work” for women…We cover what the actual human evidence says and why many of these popular beliefs are built on fear, fragility narratives, and misapplied rodent research.Whether you're a woman who wants to train hard, get strong, and feel empowered or a coach working with women, this conversation gives you the clarity, confidence, and context to move forward with a truly evidence-based approach.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:• THE ORIGIN & LIMITATIONS OF CYCLE SYNCING• HOW MOST WOMEN DON'T HAVE A 28-DAY TEXTBOOK CYCLE• HOW HORMONAL FLUCTUATIONS ACTUALLY AFFECT STRENGTH & PERFORMANCE• DO WOMEN NEED TO LIFT HEAVY TO GROW MUSCLE?• THE RESEARCH ON LOW LOAD VS. HIGH LOAD TRAINING FOR WOMEN • WHY SHORTER REST INTERVALS AREN'T BETTER FOR STRENGTH• DO WOMEN STRUGGLE MORE IN A DEFICIT THAN MEN OR IS IT DUE TO A TDEE DIFFERENCE?• KISSPEPTIN, ENERGY BALANCE & THE “CICO DOESN'T WORK FOR WOMEN” MYTH• DOES MENOPAUSE REALLY LOWER METABOLIC RATE?• THE REAL REASONS FAT LOSS FEELS HARDER DURING PERIMENOPAUSE & POSTMENOPAUSE• WHY COACHING WOMEN SHOULD START WITH EVIDENCE, NOT FEARWHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com
