We spend so much time talking about training, diet and sleep that we forget something important: How we move in everyday life!!!
After over a decade as a PT working with people over 40, I believe these everyday activities deserve far more attention.
My mum is in her mid to late 80s, fit as a fiddle, and has never done formal fitness training. But she takes the stairs instead of the lift and keeps moving.
So, number two in my series of 10 things I believe can help you live longer is simple: get out there and do real-life activities
Walk to the shops. Carry your own bags. Take the stairs. Walk somewhere you would normally drive to.
Next time you reach for the lift, take the stairs if you safely can.
Stop making movement something you only do at the gym.
