Too Stiff? Here’s How to Stay Supple - Check out full vide - #fitness #shorts #exercise #workouts

- Getting stiff? As we age, it's essential that we do stretching, mobility drills, and postures regularly, to help keep our bodies supple and injury-free:
• MOVE 1 –– a Forward Towel Stretch will help open up tight chest muscles and de-slouch the torso.

• MOVE 2 –– a Warrior One variation can help lengthen hip flexors that have become tight from sitting or driving.
• MOVE 3 –– use a block to gently support your head as you do a Wide-Stance Forward Fold for flexible hamstrings.

• MOVE 4 –– a Warrior Two variation is the most popular yoga posture for a good reason. Try it and you'll instantly feel better!

• MOVE 5 –– when stretching your quadricep area, remember the emphasis is not leaning forward but rather assertively pressing your lifted foot into your hand to open up the front of your upper thigh.

A common mistake people over the age of 50 make is not warming-up properly before a workout and cooling down thoroughly post-workout. Make improving your mobility a priority. Stay supple, friends!

- How To Lose Weight Fast - The Easiest Diet to Follow

1) Reducing sugars and starches, or carbs, from your diet can help curb your appetite, lower your insulin levels, and make you lose weight.

But the long-term effects of a low carb diet are not yet known. A reduced calorie diet could be more sustainable.

2) Assemble each meal out of a protein source, healthy fat source, complex carb, and vegetables.

Leafy green vegetables are a great way to bulk up a meal with low calories and lots of nutrients.

3) Resistance training, such as weightlifting, is a great option for losing weight. If that’s not possible, cardio workouts are also effective.

Choose what’s sustainable for you.

4) Counting calories isn’t usually needed to lose weight on a low carb eating plan. But if you’re not losing weight or on a reduced calorie eating plan, calorie counting may help.

5) Eating whole foods, higher protein, soluble fiber, and less sugar can help you lose more weight. Don’t forget to get a good night’s sleep, too.

6) Significant weight can be lost on a low carb or low calorie diet, but the speed depends on the individual.

General weight loss can improve certain markers of health, such as blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
