Will you exercise today to boost longevity and protect your brain?

Overall mortality falls with exercise. So wounded blood vessels directly disease us and kill us so with exercise it will heals wounded blood vessels.

Plaque in the arteries to your brain: stroke and dementia.

I am cycling 6 days a week. What do you do?

[thegreenyogi]

I practice pilates every morning. Yin Yoga 6 times a week and when I can hiking and swimming 3 times a week depending on the season.

[CherryLove007]

I need to look up Yin Yoga

[thegreenyogi]

It's my idea of relaxing while at the same time stretching my muscles. It consists in holding certain postures or compressions for 2-5 minutes at a time which promotes new blood flow into the connective tissues while at the same time promoting relaxation.

[CherryLove007]

Great and thank you. I wish you were near by so you could show me.

[thegreenyogi]

You're welcome!!

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you!!

Regular exercise definitely helps overall cardiovascular health, circulation, and reduces many health risks. Cycling 6 days a week is impressive and very good for endurance and heart health. I think consistency and balance are the most important things when it comes to long-term health. I try to stay active too , mostly through regular walking, light workouts, and keeping a healthy lifestyle overall.

I may take it easier, but I try to get in 3 or 4 sessions of one hour walking a week. May to October, I get as much lengths in the pool as possible. During July and August, that's almost daily.

I did some moderately stressful hiking today at a high elevation. Overall I exercise about 1 hour every day. Walking, treadmill, and some weights. I need to bump up the weights though.

[NathanDavis]

well... pretty much did sports for the last 30 years but... just recently, I've switched to calisthenics, and also went back to kick-boxing training and stuff

[TonyMetal___86]

Actually these days i'm doing nothing, just a hard working man who is overweight, i miss my gym days back in my early 20's, i'm aiming to return to the gym someday and get my old athletic body back, even though i think that it's impossible to get it back 😄

And yes i forgot that i'm mysterious too 🤣

Never stop moving, don't consume plastic (margarine) eat and consume butter and it will keep you from getting dementia.

Who wants to live forever?
Especially in this insane century.
I exercise with beers, cigarettes, and occasionally experimental sex.

[AngryCarl3]

@andreasderjuengere It's not just about longevity, it's also about quality of life.

[CherryLove007]

@AngryCarl3 yes my mind wants to remain healthy as well as physical body, heck I don't want a pill for an ill.

[andreasderjuengere]

I tolerate your visions.
However, 'quality' is i the mind of the individual.
Let me quote Hendrix:
""I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to."

[CherryLove007]

@andreasderjuengere Death is not a good look on me right now. Decay or living. ?

[andreasderjuengere]

I also tolerate this view. It's yours, and so: why not.

[Spencer10]

Light workout after the race for sure today...

[Agape93]

Nope. I aim to be dead and gone by 60, at the absolute latest.

[Alex-Snow]

I exercise 6 days a week and love it. It helps my mind, health, sex life and attitude.

[loveslongnails]

Only if you join me :)

[Caurav1997]

Do sex counts in exercise?

[AMS700CX4u2]

Always do.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I already do
