American Council on Exercise (ACE Fitness)’s Post

I love a good movement snack! Whether you're a student who is seated for hours at a time while studying (I remember those days!), an office worker tied to your desk, or an older adult who is new to exercise, small bouts of movement can be highly beneficial. Movement breaks don't need to be a huge production. Jumping jacks, march in place, wall sits, air squats, wall/floor push-ups, planks, or even walking up and down a flight of stairs a few times can make a big impact when done a couple times a day. How do you like your (movement) snack? #acefitness #exercise #brainbreak

Have you tried "movement snacks"? Short bursts of movement throughout the day are just as important for your metabolic health as one long session at the gym. 3 ways to get a quick movement snack right now: 1. Stand up. Yup, just stand up. If you are able to get outside go stand outside and look at the sky. 2. Hang. Stand in a doorway and reach up as high as you can. If your body feels comfortable hanging, use your arms to support most of your body weight (your feet do not have to leave the floor). 3. Twist. From seated, reach around to the back of the chair. From standing, swing your arms side to side and look behind you.

They say to run for your life when you need to run away from danger. But what if you had to run not to escape danger, but to improve your heart function, achieve better sleep, reduce your risk of chronic diseases, and so on? Ok, basically escape danger! According to the Public Health Agency of Sweden (2021), children aged 6-17 are recommended to engage in at least 60 minutes of cardiovascular activity daily, complemented by strength training at least 3 times a week.

 For adults aged 18-64, the suggestion is to aim for 150-300 minutes of cardiovascular activity per week, alongside muscle- and bone-strengthening exercises at least twice weekly.

 Individuals aged 65 and above are advised to also strive for 150-300 minutes of cardiovascular activity per week, engage in muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least twice a week, and incorporate balance training thrice weekly.

 It's important to break up prolonged periods of sitting with regular movement. #Health #LifestyleBrand #Hälsa #healthylifestyle

New research highlights the profound impact of maintaining good heart health on overall well-being. Young adults with favourable heart health scores were found to have a 65% reduced risk of disease. Additionally, those who improved their heart health also lowered their risk of heart and kidney disease. However, the study underscores the rarity of achieving "ideal" heart health, with only 1% of subjects meeting the criteria. Prioritizing a heart-healthy lifestyle not only slashes the risk of heart disease and stroke but can also mitigate the risk of kidney disease.
