WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: 1. "Old age" is not why we get arthritis - think about joint health as activity related, not age related. 2. Hydrate - with clean water everyday - can take some pain away! AND your efforts in exercise and movement therapy won't be so severely diminished. 3. The fascial net - the push/pull system in the body- is a major contributor to joint health. The Kinesiogram™ is a great way to get your own personal report about your body and learn next steps for the BEST movement of your life! 4. Move your joints in ALL the ways they can. Most people just move joints a few ways and that's it. Get creative and move in all directions. Take the joints to their capacity. This is great for nervous system health (brain connectivity), fluid flow, and the connective tissue is expanding it's function in new, important ways. This is important for range of motion, extensibility, and mobility. You are also taxing the muscle in a new way and that is extremely beneficial for body harmony. 5.

IN TODAY'S EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: KEY FACTORS IN GAINING AND MAINTAINING BONE DENSITY - Today, we are talking about optimal bone remodeling - where the bone building process is higher than the bone degradation process. This allows for better bone health. Here are the concepts to keep in mind: 1. Strain Magnitude - The amount of relative change in bone length under mechanical loading to create a change. Need to bend the bone enough to elicit change without inducing injury. Jumping has more strain magnitude than tip-toe. 2. Strain Rate - The rate at which strain develops and releases. Running has a faster strain rate than slow walking. 3. Strain Cycle (frequency) - The number of repetitions that change the bone dimensions at any given magnitude. EG: how many times your legs turned over when running/walking. Like the distance. 4. Strain Distribution - The way the strain is distributed across the bone. If you are always walking, the strain is distributed across the bone the same way all the time. Need to throw in some dancing or side stepping down a hill. 5. Rest - resting between sets and sessions allows the bone to reabsorb fluid in order to recover properly and increase bone mineral density. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER You want to have an activity that has the MOST strain magnitude (force), with the most strain rate (pace), with the most frequency (reps/distance), and with the most varying strain distribution (angles). Obviously you need to mind your current level of fitness. WAYS TO GET MORE INFORMATION: 1. Subscribe and download episodes of The Body Uncovered and share on social media or however you see fit. 2.
