WLAC 1510 "YOUR HEALTH MATTERS" Ep 2 - w/ Karl Sterling: The Importance of Maintaining Muscle Mass

Karl Sterling Podcast

Building and maintaining sufficient muscle mass throughout the lifetime is absolutely PARAMOUNT in terms of: * longevity * movement * quality of life * metabolism * optimal movement * fall risk reduction * fracture risk reduction * BONE HEALTH As we age, it is natural to lose muscle and bone mass. However, at ANY age, we can and we SHOULD be building and/or maintaining muscle mass and bone density to live our longest and best quality life. If you are anywhere near Nashville, TN - be sure to visit https://www.thelebanondojo.com/50plusinformation/ Their new Isshinryu Neuro-Motor Training is a COMPLETE game changer. As there is a general decline in senior wellness in the US, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for people over 65 and the rate has increased by 60% in the last decade. Nearly three million seniors a year are treated for fall related injuries. Sadly, fully 30% of seniors who visit the ER for fall related injuries are dead within a year. There are various reasons for this, but primarily, a lack of physical fitness, and impaired cognitive function are contributing factors. There are many other ailments related to aging that can be mitigated by the right kind of preventative activities. And… the earlier you start, the better. If you are over fifty and not currently working both your body and your brain, you will be at greater risk of age-related injuries and illnesses down the road. You can play a role in holding off age-related illnesses and injuries. INM Training is a low-impact program designed specifically for people over fifty to foster improved health and well-being. The exercises have been specifically designed to utilize the best parts of ancient Okinawan traditional forms with the most up-to-date research around neuro-motor functioning and enhancements for seniors to improve longevity and quality of life. This new program, introduced first here in Nashville, is built around foundational Isshinryu katas and Pilates exercises. These series of movements were specifically designed to develop muscle mass, core strength, balance, endurance, proper breathing, and cognitive function. The ancient masters understood the benefits of these practices long before modern science. Isshinryu Neuro-Motor Training is: Designed for, and delivered by seniors, to promote a proactive approach to our aging minds and bodies. These methods have proven effective in enhancing quality of life in seniors. Unlike traditional martial arts training, this is not a belt program. There will be no sparring, grappling, or contact involved unless that is what you request. (We have traditional self-defense and belt programs available for those who want it.) We will work within your personal goals. A program that combines the wisdom of an ancient art, Pilates exercises, and the most recent scientific research to create a system designed to improve your physical and neural health, while avoiding the injuries that plague so many older people. We will also offer additional tiers of engagement should you be interested in self-defense or a Black Belt program designed just for seniors. This is totally optional and not a part of INM Training.
