Have you ever felt like staying healthy is too time-consuming, especially as a woman over 40? Michelle Rieckman, a distinguished physical therapist, personal trainer, health coach, and yoga instructor, joins us to debunk this myth. She brings a wealth of experience to our chat, providing illuminating insights on maintaining a healthy lifestyle without it consuming your whole day. Michelle emphasizes the significance of muscle mass for metabolism, the trap of short-term diet fixes, and how prevention is always better than cure.
We then navigate the labyrinth of food labels, as Michelle guides us to spot harmful ingredients like added sugars, hydrogenated oils, and trans fats. We also dwell on the advantages of strength training, which doesn’t necessarily require a high-end gym: you can do it at home with just your body weight, bands, or weights. I even reveal how I mastered the art of pull-ups at 40, with just 10 minutes of exercise a day, thrice a week.
Before we bid farewell, Michelle delves into her association with Safe Families, a nonprofit proving that small acts of kindness can make a profound impact. We explore how understanding nutrition and making thoughtful food choices can revolutionize our health. Wrapping up, we introduce you to the Little Give project, encouraging you to connect with us, share videos to our Kindness Clip segment, and join the Little Give TV Show Facebook group. Listen in for a heartwarming conversation teeming with actionable tips for a healthier, happier lifestyle.
