🏋️🏋️‍♀️ TherEx Transformation🏋️🏋️‍♀️ Exercise for Caregiver Health and Well-being 🎾 Most caregivers know all too well the effect of  stress associated with caring for a loved one.  Family Caregiver Alliance's Selected Caregiver Statistics fact sheet notes that 25% of male caregivers and 35% of female caregivers report high stress due to caregiving.  🏐 From headaches, to increased blood pressure and weight gain, stress can have a significant impact on the well-being of caregivers.  When caregivers feel better about themselves there is a greater inner reserve to draw upon to support caring for someone else. 🏀 Caregiving is not easy. Feeling stressed out, over-worked and even a little sad is normal. You may find that taking time for  your well-being  by practicing yoga,  taking a trip to the gym,  strolling down the street or even mowing the lawn, can have a noticeable impact on how you feel, both mentally and physically.

🏋️🏋️‍♀️ Today in Therex Thursday 🏋️🏋️‍♀️ Safe and Tolerable Exercises for ALS 🎾 A recently completed ALS Association funded study by Dr. Nicholas Maragakis of Johns Hopkins University and team set out to help answer this common question by exploring the possible benefits of exercise for people living with ALS. 🏐 Many people living with ALS struggle to understand whether it is OK to exercise, what kind of exercise is most beneficial, and whether exercise slows disease progression.

🏋️🏋️‍♀️ Today in Therex Thursday 🏋️🏋️‍♀️ Exercise is medicine... and more! Physical activity is our body’s first line of defense against diseases. Physical activity also improves overall brain function. 🎾 Exercise is a valuable yet underused component for post-stroke care. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association suggests that survivors should be prescribed exercise because they experience physical deconditioning and often lead inactive lifestyles after stroke. 🏐 There is strong evidence that physical activity and exercise after stroke can improve cardiovascular fitness, walking ability and upper arm strength as well as improving depression, cognitive function, memory and quality of life after stroke. 🏀 Following are a few exercises for stroke survivors to help with everything from balance & walking to fine motor skills, complete with video instructions: https://strokeconnection.strokeassociation.org/Spring-2019/At-home-Exercises-for-Stroke-Survivors/ Be stronger than your excuses.
