today I'd love to talk to you about the number one exercise I think every woman
in their 50s should be doing if it's the only exercise you do this is it and if
it's if you're someone who does lots of exercise add this to it hi I'm Schellea
this is fabulous 50s a lifestyle channel that celebrates women in their 50s so if
you have joined me here to learn about this exercise I found out about this
when I went to a lifestyle retreat and we got taught that doing a Chinese squat
is one of the most beneficial things for our health for any age group
particularly people who are getting older because when you don't activate
all your muscles in your legs that leads to muscle loss sitting accelerates
muscle loss and muscle loss equals aging and you can imagine old people when
they're kind of bent over and that they're walking slowly it's because
everything's kind of gone soft and lost its effectiveness to keep the body
upright and and also another thing about sitting sittings not the best thing for
us and we tend to sit all day and sitting loosens our gluts and it doesn't
engage anything so you're not engaging your core or your legs or your gluts or
anything so sitting is really bad but we all do it all day so this is something
that you can do at home and if you just do it every day building up slowly and
slowly - you can do it for a bit longer you're going to notice a benefit in your
strength and your vitality and I'll tell you why but first of all I'll show you
what to do so you just go from a standing position and you come down to
squatting and this is called a Chinese squat and it's called that because in
Asia this is how people communicate they eat they talk they they cook they do
everything like this naturally and soda babies you
notice a young child a toddler this is how they sit this is how they do things
so it's it's the way the body was designed yet we don't do it so our
bodies don't perform as well as they could for as long as they could just
another thing you try and keep your back as straight as you can and hold your
core in and your feet flat on the ground not not like this you have them flat on
the ground as you can now this may be difficult to do for a long time so 10
seconds you're doing great and you just keep practicing getting a little bit
longer at each time until it's something that you can do very easily but it's
quite important for us to do as women in our 50s because we've got to work on
becoming someone who can live into the next 50 years with lots of health and
vitality the Chinese squat actually helps loosen the back and align the
spine and lengthen the hip flexors which are here and when they get short that's
when we get really stiff and everything's very hard to do so it also
is great for improving your digestion because of the way that we're sitting
like this it helps everything move through the body and our bowel function
is a lot better your knees get strong all the parts of your legs get strong
and your core becomes strong so that's kind of good for us but the thing that I
found out about that I didn't know when I learned about this is that women who
are going through menopause so from you know early 40s mid 40s - way into their
50s what happens is we go through these hormonal changes that
actually make us think and remember and feel the pain and the hurt inside our
body that has gone on in the past and I guess our job in menopause is to realign
ourselves and move through what our hurts and our pains and move into a new
phase of life I've I've been reading dr. Christiane Northrup who's these books
are great I've got another one here really fantastic reading actually for
everybody but she talks about how we as women hold a lot of our pain here in
this area and that's why we can have many many problems particularly with
painful periods and menopause and all sorts of things that originate in that
area and we have to release that pain so that we can move forward so all of the
wisdom that we've gained in our life is we've got to keep growing and growing
and learning and releasing all of the crap all of the bad stuff that's
happened and interestingly this is where we store it and doing this exercise is
going to be strengthening for us and and kind of liberating for us so yeah every
day if you can do this for 10 seconds 15 seconds you know 45 seconds into a
minute five minutes just have a little practice of doing it and start releasing
some of that stuff that we're hanging on to and help bring some some great bone
strength and building muscle into your body because our legs and all of this
area supports everything else so if they're strong we can be strong and
vital so if you can't get down here use a ball like this and this gives you a
similar kind of position for your body to be in but it
doesn't give you the the strength that you're going to get from doing the squat
but it will help you get your body down low because some sometimes if you
haven't been used to exercising it might be difficult for you to get to here and
go down a little bit further and you might need some help even to help you
lean on something while you're you're going down here but don't don't stress
at all about being able to do this practice and do it at your own pace
just be really excited and proud of yourself that you've done something that
you couldn't do before and a small amount of time means it's going to be a
longer amount of time when you keep practicing it I think that's all I've
got for you today I'm sorry I look so scruffy but I've just come from the gym
and I wanted to share that with you so thank you for watching please subscribe
