Bone Health Workout
Hi ladies, continuing on from my bone health theme. Here's my Bone Health Workout | Safe Beginner Routine for Stronger Bones | 8-mins https://youtu.be/5gFkxRWX-wo Next week I'll be discussing collagen- Is collagen worth taking for women over 50 (science based). It will also include my review (so far) of a product I am testing myself (not sponsored). Put a 'yes' in the comments if you'd be interested in this subject. AND pop any questions about collagen in the comments and I'll discuss them in my video.

Yes please. I currently take 3600 mg of marine collagen which I believe is better than bovine? It also contains vitamin C hyaluronic acid and zinc.
Bone Health
I put together a summary of a podcast I listened to with Debbie Robinson, Functional Bone Health Expert and this is where she interviews Dr. Nick Birch. He's a former spinal surgeon and he's the co-founder of OsteosScan uk, and he is also their managing director and the person behind the REMS scan. They chat about the difference between DEXA and the REMS scan and potentially how powerful the REMS scan is! I can personally vouch for this and will be dropping in my story soon. If you'd like the video and transcript as well as a link to check your FRAPS score comment 'bone health' below 💪

Do you love being outdoors? ☀️
Today in the UK something amazing happened 😱 The sun came out! And I’m so glad I had booked on a Ramblers hike. It almost felt like spring is on its way. Snowdrops and daffodils are out too - all the horrible rainy, grey weather at least makes us appreciate the sun. What have you been doing on your Sunday?

That's by John's. We walk it regularly. I'm afraid that I've been doing housework and paperwork but appreciated the sun when I did my food shop. I've got Josh coming tomorrow for a couple of days and he eats like a horse! X

What is SIT??
No, I'm sorry it's not sitting on your sofa!! Sprint Interval Training (SIT) is a specialised form of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) that is gaining massive traction in the longevity and fitness space, particularly due to the research of experts like Dr. Stacy Sims. As we move into our 50s and beyond, our bodies stop responding to exercise the way they did in our 20s. Long, steady-state cardio sessions often leave us feeling tired rather than energised. Enter SIT: Sprint Interval Training. What is SIT? Unlike traditional HIIT, which usually involves 1–4 minutes of hard work, SIT is about maximal effort for a very short duration. We are talking about 20 to 30 seconds of "all-out" effort, followed by several minutes of complete rest. Why it’s the "Secret Weapon" for Women 50+ 1. It Fights Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia) Post-menopause, our "fast-twitch" muscle fibres—the ones responsible for power and metabolism—tend to decline. SIT recruits these specific fibres, helping you maintain a toned, strong physique and functional independence. 2. Superior Insulin Sensitivity Women over 50 often face "metabolic inflexibility," making it harder to manage blood sugar. Research shows that SIT can improve insulin sensitivity more effectively than hours of walking, helping to reduce mid-section weight gain. 3. It Protects Your Bones The high-intensity nature of SIT creates a "stress" signal that tells your body to keep bones dense and strong. It’s a safe way to build intensity because the sessions are so short. 4. Efficiency A full SIT session, including warm-up and rest, can be completed in under 15 minutes. It is the ultimate "less is more" approach to fitness. How to Start (The "Nourish Fit Move" Way) You don’t need a running track to do SIT. You can "sprint": - On a stationary bike (lowest impact) – my favourite method, but you’ll either need a bike at home or use one if you go to a gym. - During a walk - A brisk uphill walk or power-walk - By following my workouts 😊

@Jackie Tarling yes I could try it at the gym. I do 90 sit-ups, walk uphill on the running machine for 30 mins, 120 pull-ups on each arm then 60 reps on each of the thigh and bum machines but my belly fat isn't shifting. I had a flat tummy until 12 months ago. Maybe it's because I'm more relaxed since I retired.
