If we know that exercising has such potent and in many times IMMEDIATE effects on mood, then the question becomes, why aren't ALL of us doing it with no issues? Some of our older adults (and clients of all ages) think of EXERCISE like a cuss word. Yuck. They HATE it. They have a visceral reaction to it. This is known as the AFFECTIVE response of exercise. The "suck" in the middle of a hard workout hits us all differently and even KNOWING that you get to the other side. The suck can make people disengage. So how do we tackle it? Dr. Christina Prevett breaks this down.

🚨 Frailty: Hope is NOT a Strategy 🚨 @jmusgravept shares the importance of evidence-supported screening & interventions to fight physical frailty in older adults. Hope without a strategy is an empty promise. Did you know that 80% of older adults are either frail or pre-frail? This can lead to falls, hospital visits, and loss of independence. But there's good news—you CAN make a difference! 💪 Use the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to quickly identify frailty in under 5 minutes. With a score of The solution? Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) with functional, real-life movements. Pair it with efficient techniques like rEMOM (Reps Every Minute on the Minute) for sessions as short as 10-15 minutes, 2x/week. 📏 Measure. 💪 Intervene. 🌟 Empower. 💬 Share your experience using the SPPB or rEMOM in the comments! ➡️ Links in bio for research, the SPPB guide, and calculator app. Frailty Stat: doi: 10.2147/CIA.S139860 How to do SPPB : https://www.sralab.org/rehabilitation-measures/short-physical-performance-battery SPPB correlation to frailty status: 10.1093/gerona/glab087 SPPB Calculator: IOS : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sppb-calcualtor/id1046391074 Progressive full body Resistance training for frailty: doi: 10.1159/000382065 *If you want more helpful content to better serve older adults, sign up for our MMOA Digest = Free Bi-Weekly Email packed with helpful links, posts, & research relevant to your work.
