Canadian health and anti-ageing expert, @mo_hagan beleves movement and activity preserves youth. Now, we are all aware that we can't turn back the clock and honestly why would we want to. We have so much going on for us in this stage of our lives. However, as Mo says, "the hormonal changes that take place in an older woman will interfere with her ability to gain muscle, to sleep soundly, to have clear mindful focus. These things all decline with age. Physical activity will help correct all of that, as long as you are doing enough of the right thing on a regular basis consistently.”
So the importance of maintaining a healthy level of activity can't be stressed enough but what if you're not into a particular sport or activity? Well, here's a list of things that with regular practice can have a beneficial effect on our bodies. 🔆Commit to a regular walking programme - cheap, easy and if you get a group of friends on side, a great way to exercise and socialise at the same time. 🔆Learn to love water aerobics and water walking - swimming, as we know, is great but it's the resistance of the water in an aerobics programme that helps with that bone strength. 🔆Start boxing for upper body strength, managing weight and toning those arms. 🔆Resistance training for bone strength. It doesn't have to be weights at a gym, body resistance (plank, pushups, squats, etc.) are all just as effective. 🔆Yoga. Of course, that had to make the cut. So good for strength, flexibility and mindfulness and stress release. 🔆Golf. Not just for men, of course. Hagan says, "The sport combines a bit of strength and flexibility (swinging the club), leg strength (skipping the cart and walking between shots), and the meditative quiet of nature to relax your mind.
🔆Dance. It's got it all - balance, strength, endurance. And it doesn't matter which style: ballroom, barre classes, zumba... Just get that body moving. 
@preventionmag have some great tips and articles on keeping those pounds at bay during peri and post menopause.
