slide 2: The best rule of good joint health: The
more you move the less stiffness you’ll
have. Whether you do example. When
you are reading working or watching
TV you remember the key is to change
your positions often.
Take breaks once in a while from your
desk or your chair and get active. A quick
lap around the office is all it takes to
loose your joints.
1. STAY IN MOTION
slide 4: Ever wonder as to how to pick out the
best workout choice for your goals The
best options are activities that don’t
pound your joints or put major stress on
them.
Some great options are walking
bicycling swimming and strength
training.
2. LOW IMPACT EXERCISES
slide 6: To give your joints good Support the
best thing you can do is build up
strength to support muscles.
Adding even the little amount of strength
can make a world of difference in your
overall joint health.
A physical therapist or certified trainer
can suggest you what to include in your
routine and how to do them.
3. BUILD YOUR MUSCLES
slide 8: Stronger abs and back muscles help you
to maintain balance which means you’re
less likely to fall or get injured.
To achieve this we can add core-
strengthening exercises to our routine
by utilizing abdominal back and hip
training.
Pilates and yoga are low-impact
workouts. They target core muscles and
also build whole-body strength.
4. POWER UP YOUR CORE
slide 10: Strong bones are vital to joint health.
Calcium and vitamin D can help ensure
your body is getting the key nutrients
that it needs.
Dairy products are the best sources of
calcium but if you have trouble digesting
dairy other options include green leafy
vegetables like broccoli and kale.
If you don’t get enough calcium from
food you may consider adding
supplements to your diet.
5. KEEP YOUR BONES STRONG
