Listen now
Description
What if you could transform your fitness routine and improve your overall health, even if you're living with a medical condition like multiple sclerosis? Join us as we chat with Meg Stickle, a certified personal trainer and expert in seniors fitness and aqua fitness, about her journey into the fitness industry and how her experience working with seniors and people with medical conditions has shaped her career. Meg shares her insights on the importance of self-care and ownership of one's health and fitness, as well as her journey of learning how to exercise with different populations. Discover how to stretch and move your body to stay healthy, and how having a goal can motivate you to stay active. Meg shares her tips on incorporating three to four exercises at a time into our day and how stretching for just 15 minutes can lead to positive outcomes. We also discuss the importance of signing up for a short-term goal to stay motivated and how that helps us be more committed to eating healthy and doing more stretching. Additionally, we discuss exercise habits for people with MS, including the importance of listening to your body's needs when it comes to exercise and how to create an exercise routine that works for you. Listen in as Meg shares a fantastic resource called the MS Get Fit Toolkit, which provides guidelines and advice on how to fit exercise into your day.
