Jeff Armstrong Season 3 Episode 42

In this episode, Dr. Armstrong and Corbin Bruton discuss the importance of adapting exercise routines for common chronic conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, and more. They emphasize the significance of tailored exercise plans for managing symptoms and improving overall well-being as individuals age. From low-impact activities for arthritis sufferers to weight-bearing exercises for osteoporosis, and blood sugar management for diabetics, the hosts provide practical tips and insights. They also discuss the benefits of exercise in maintaining heart health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Moreover, they explore adapting exercise routines for chronic progressive diseases like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, as well as non-progressive disorders such as cerebral palsy or injury. Throughout the episode, the hosts underscore the importance of seeking professional guidance to safely adapt exercise routines based on individual health conditions, while encouraging listeners to prioritize physical activity as a key component of… aging well.
