“For #runners, this question feels especially relevant. We already know #running enhances cardiovascular #health, boosts mood, and supports #longevity. Could the intensity or duration of your workouts influence whether your brain stays ‘younger’ for longer?

🤔 Is #Running Aging Your Brain? Here’s What a New Study Says
Scientists are making progress in understanding the exact role that physical activity plays in brain #health and #aging.

Run · Is Running Aging Your Brain? Here’s What a New Study SaysScientists are making progress in understanding the exact role that physical activity plays in brain health and aging.

“I was surprised — you would think running is super healthy,” said Laura Linville, 47, of Alexandria, Va., a longtime marathon runner who participated in the study. She learned she had seven polyps, including some so large that she had to undergo additional procedures.

This is what real strength looks like.💪🏾

💥Meet my #fitness clients, Judy and John. At 76 years young, they’ve completely transformed their lives since starting online strength training with me in 2022.

🎗️One is a #cancer survivor, and both have shown that consistent movement at home can change everything. They’ve gone from using resistance bands to enjoying gardening, and from doing push-ups to keeping up with their grandkids. 💥

“if lactic acid build up isn’t at fault for burning, aching muscles (during or following a #workout), you may be left wondering why people seem to hate on it … when you realize the substance plays an important role in energy metabolism during #exercise
“lactate threshold is there for a reason—it’s protective. When your muscles really start to protest, slowing down and giving them a break isn’t a sign of weakness, but an acknowledgment of your current limits” runnersworld.com/training/a657

Runner's World · Understanding Lactic Acid Build Up in Your Muscles—And What Really Causes That Burning SensationBy Laura Williams Bustos, M.S.

Good morning tooters. It’s a grey wet day today & while there isn’t much rain around the washing won’t dry 🙃. It’s a fairly mild morning too, 7c when I got up, but we’re only heading to 12c, back to winter 🥶 for a few days & nights getting pretty cool again.
I’m glad I had my walk yesterday & I saw some Roos laying around in a paddock but too far away for me to get a decent picture. The walk did me good though & the rest of the day was fairly quiet.
Not much on for today, I have some soup I’ve made to freeze in smaller containers with enough for tonight’s dinner as well. Then I only have two more evening meals to think about before I start my trip to Adelaide. I’m emptying the fridge of nearly everything & will take with me anything I can’t freeze or won’t keep.
Where do the weeks go 🤷🏼‍♀️, they zap by so fast. Have a great #Saturday everyone, I hope there is sunshine where you are 🌻. #Weather #Exercise #TripPlanning.

A discussion on Lemmy reminded me of this story that Dr Karl told about 38 billion times on the 5Live Science show. One thing that really does speed up your metabolism is the cold. Like really cold, Antarctica cold. It turns your fat into brown fat which gets burned for energy. Dr Karl had a story about some women who put on extra weight before a trip to Antarctica, but even with all the extra fat they put on and the extra calories they were eating, it all melted away during that trip.

Also, the body burns more or less the same amount of calories a day, whether you're active or sedentary. So exercise isn't an effective way to lose weight, as your body will just reduce the calories it burns on other things. The amount of energy you use just to stay alive outweighs how much you'd burn from doing a run. Anyway. #Exercise is really good for other things! Not weight loss, but it has *loads* of other benefits, so try to stay active.

I'm now going to guiltily look at my 5kg weights that haven't seen much action lately. And my bike that I haven't been able to ride because I don't know the cycle route to work and the bus route goes on a motorway.
