Your mobility has EVERYTHING to do with not only how you move and feel … but with the quality of life you have. That’s why this month I’m going to be talking a lot about your muscles and why it’s SO IMPORTANT to keep them strong and supple (beyond just how they make you look!).

 How active you are each day (including your workouts and your normal activities of daily living) makes up about 10% to 30% of your daily calorie burn. Very active people can actually burn up to half their daily calories from activity! BUT ... studies show that as we get older, we tend to move less, both in terms of exercise AND our general daily living.
