Relax into your breath. Drop your shoulders, keep lips parted, and let the flow happen. Raise and depress your scapula for upper body release. Simple desk exercise for a better overall feeling. #BreathingExercise #LiveLongpodcast #peterbowes

Farmers' Walk: Anyone can do this exercise, regardless of age or experience level. Older adults: start with lighter weights to mimic walking and improve your posture. Start small, build up, and aim for 20-30 seconds. #Posture #Exercise

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

Don't overthink it. Kettlebells and weights are great, but household items work too. A bottle of detergent? Perfect for imitating a farmer's walk. Anything you can pick up is good. #FitnessHacks #HomeWorkout

What's the difference between living to 100 and being unable to do anything, versus living to 90 with great health? It's about health span: maximizing healthy years and minimizing unhealthy ones. #HealthSpan #Longevity

Lateral quick steps aren't just for athletes. This kind of movement trains the body to move in multiple directions, improving everyday activities and building a foundation for functional fitness in the long run. #FunctionalFitness #Longevity

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

New tech and expensive interventions get a lot of attention, but basics matter most. Movement, along with good diet, sleep, and social connections, are the most accessible longevity interventions. #Longevity #HealthyLifestyle

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

Functional movement is about replicating everyday actions to improve performance. Whether standing, sitting, or lifting, the goal is to do what people already do, only better. #FunctionalFitness #Movement

The kettlebell swing: strength, endurance, power, and cardio, all in one! It engages your whole body, improving balance and explosive power for everyday life. A dynamic warmup is always advised! #KettlebellSwing #Fitness

The Black community faces a 6-year life expectancy gap. This equates to 268 million years of lost time. Helping people reach their full potential eases suffering for themselves & those around them. #BlackCommunity #LifeExpectancy

Bodyweight training is powerful because you ARE the weight. One-leg balances build stability, resist slips, and prep the body for any sport. No equipment needed! #Bodyweight #Balance

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

People often think exercise is about brute force. Balance, however, is about calming and focusing the mind, then moving and maintaining body parts accordingly. Yoga and Pilates exemplify this well. #MindBody #Balance

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

Balancing on one leg builds stability and prevents slips and falls. Start by holding onto a wall, then close your eyes, and finally try balancing without support for a minute or two. #Balance #Stability

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

Core exercises require engaging the abs and stabilizing the body to prevent injury. The devil is in the details. Focus on shoulder stability and drawing the belly to the spine for lower back support. #CoreStrength #InjuryPrevention

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

Core strength is crucial. Beginners should practice getting up off the floor before attempting planks. Bird dogs, hip bridges, and plank variations can also strengthen the core. #CoreStrength #FitnessTips

[Live Long with Peter Bowes @LiveLongPeter]

Core strength is maximum power; core endurance is how long that power lasts. Both are vital. Aim for 3 sets: the first to start, the second to build strength, the third for endurance. #CoreStrength #Endurance
