Below is a description of what happens to our bodies as we age and how exercise can make all the difference.

What happens to muscles as we age? Muscle mass decreases as we age. Beginning in the fourth decade of life, adults lose three to five per cent of muscle mass per decade, and the decline increases to one to two per cent per year after age 50. Muscle keeps us strong; it burns calories, helps us maintain our weight, and it contributes to balance and bone strength. Without it, we can lose our independence and our mobility.The good news is that muscle mass can increase at any age in response to exercise.

What happens to endurance?Endurance decreases as we age but there’s good news when it comes to fitness, walking endurance, and health. In an impressive study, data collected on more than 41,000 men and women from 1990 to 2001 were analyzed to find the relationship between walking and mortality. It was reported that men and women who walked 30 minutes or more per day during the study period had fewer deaths than those who walked less than 30 minutes. Interestingly, even men and women who smoked or were overweight were protected from early death if they walked more than 30 minutes per day.

What happens to flexibility?You guessed it. It decreases. The

good news is that studies show improvements in function when individuals engage in exercise programs that involve stretching exercises with significant improvements in the range of motion of various joints.

What happens to balance? Balance decreases as we age and falling is a major problem as a result. The good news is that physical activity can improve balance and reduce the risk of falling. It’s important to select balance-training exercises that are specific to activities that you do during the day. For example, you might want to do balance exercises on one leg that mimic the act of walking if you are

The Mission Leisure Centre offers many programs seniors can participate in, such as this Stretch and Strength class, led by Marion Black.

unsteady while you walk (when you walk, one leg is in the air). Tai chi is excellent for this because it involves slow, coordinated movements, and particularly so since you lift one leg frequently while doing it.

Can exercise improve mood?It has been documented that exercise can alleviate symptoms of depression.

How much exercise do I need to do for health and fitness?Aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, dancing, biking, swimming, etc.): To promote and maintain health, older adults need moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes five days each week or vigorous intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes three days each week. (Moderate intensity is when you feel “warm and slightly out of breath,” and vigorous is when you feel “out of breath and sweaty.”)

Resistance exercise (weight lifting/body weight exercises): To promote and maintain health and physical independence, older adults will benefit

from performing activities that maintain or increase muscular strength and endurance for a minimum of two days each week. It is recommended that 8 to 10 exercises be performed on two or more nonconsecutive days per week using the major muscle groups.Flexibility exercise: To maintain the flexibility necessary for regular physical activity and daily life, older adults should perform activities (yoga, stretching) that maintain or

increase flexibility at least two days each week for at least 10 minutes each day.Balance exercise: To reduce risk of injury from falls, older adults would benefit

from performing exercises that maintain or improve balance.

PROGRAMS AVAILABLEThe Mission Leisure Centre offers numerous programs, such as yoga and tai chi, to improve your

strength, flexibility and endurance. A group

exercise class is a great way to improve your strength and energy in a social and supportive atmosphere. Instructors encourage you to exercise at your own level, modifying where you need and challenging you to do more when you are willing and able. You can meet new people, get fit, and have fun.Visit www.mission.ca for more details.

Autumn leaves bring out the best colours of the season and before you know it your property is covered with them. Unraked leaves can get matted down, suffocate grass and create optimal breeding grounds for insects and fungus. Remove leaves from your lawn to avoid dead patches and infestationsin the spring. Don’t worry about getting every leaf, those in the garden help keep plants insulated and as they decompose they will nourish the soil with valuable nutrients.

WHAT IS OSTEOFIT?

Osteofit is a BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre certified exercise, education and fall prevention program for individuals with osteoporosis, low bone density or who are at risk of fractures and falls. Osteofit is medically endorsed and based on published research. It is designed and updated by clinical specialists from BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre’s Osteoporosis program.

Exercise is a proven effective treatment option for people with osteoporosis in combination with medication and nutrition. The program is safe for individuals with osteoporosis, as well as addressing the need for an accessible community program providing the transition from physiotherapy to group fitness classes for those who are at risk for falls and fractures. The program aims to provide safe and gentle

exercises for individuals with minimal previous exercise experience.

The goals of Osteofit are to: • Reduce an individual’s risk of falls and fractures

• Improve an individual’s ability to do day-to-day activities

• Increase an individual’s confidence and independence

•Improve an individual’s quality of life As we all know falls are an important cause of

serious fracture. Approximately 30 per cent of individuals over 65 years of age fall at least once per year. Falls may result in individuals considerably reducing their activity for fear of future falls and almost half of fallers are unable to get up without help. Regular strength and balance training helps to prevent falls and it can reduce the risk of fall-related fractures in older adults.

There are two types of classes. Level 1 is an introductory level class that focuses on developing strength

and endurance in individuals with no previous experience working with exercise equipment. Exercises include strength, agility, balance and resistance training. The goal is to improve participants’ capacity for activities of daily living.

In Level 2, participants undertake a progressively more difficult exercise program that challenges balance, strength and agility. The aim is to improve posture and the ability to move as needed for daily activities through safe and specific movements in a supportive environment.

All classes incorporate an education component. For further information please contact the Lifetime Learning Centre at 604-820-0220 or e-mail [email protected] or visit www.

Meet ... Bert Pulles

INTRODUCTIONBert was born in Holland and moved to Canada in 1951 when

he was just 17 and met his wife the following year. He moved to Mission 26 years ago and has been known as “Bert the Mole Man” for 24 years. Before entering the mole control business,

he worked in the steel industry.

VOLUNTEERBert is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and

has served as a director in the past. He joined the local Communities In Bloom Committee in 2006 and has been the

group’s president for more than two years. Of all the places he has lived, Bert says Mission is the friendliest.

KEEPING ACTIVEBert still manufactures his mole busters from his home and

provides demonstrations at garden centres in the spring. He says he will never retire.

Take pride in where you live and who your neighbours are.

It’s very rewarding.Bert Pulles

Something To Smile About!This couple have something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of confi dence when it came to smiling and talking.

Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which areas close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”

“Whether you have a single tooth, several teeth or everyone of them missing...we can help.”
