Neuroplasticity....Can Geezers Get It?

Neuroplasticity refers to our brain's ability to adapt to changing demands, learn new information and heal itself after injury. Adults lose up to 10 percent of their brain weight between ages 20 and 90, so strengthening the brain's ability to change and adapt is important to help counteract the effects of aging and disease, and for learning and memory consolidation.

This ability can help older adults reduce or avoid many age-related brain changes and keep their brains functioning at a high level. There are several ways in which we can encourage healthy brain function. These include lifestyle factors, such as regular aerobic exercise of at least 30 minutes daily, five days a week; cognitive stimulation - challenging your brain with complex tasks to strenghen the connectors between the neurons and keep memory from declining; maintaining a healthy diet low in calories, rich in protein (lean meats, fish, eggs, low fat dairy products), nuts, legumes and large amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; reducing stress and engaging in social activities - socially involved people are less likely to develop dementia, according to many studies. The message is to be proactive on all levels.

Packed on a Few Extra LBS? Here's a Solution

Tis' the Season....for Fitness!

It’s that time of the year when I always get lazy. The holidays, family, big meals and parties are all too much to resist. I always end up putting on weight and losing fitness. I usually show up at the first race of the new season looking like the Pillsberry Dough Boy. This year I decided to try something different. I went to my local gym and sought out their best trainer to set me up with a good fitness program. This young guy, about 25, was very enthused. He started rattling off all the things he could do to keep me fit thru the holidays and beyond. I think the calculator in his head was spinning out of control as he imagined all the workout hours he could bill me. Everything sounded great until he asked me what I wanted to get in shape for.  When I answered the upcoming MX season he almost fell off his stool. His first words after he regained some composure were “you’re kidding, you’re too old for that crazy stuff." I told him I was serious and he asked “why would anyone want to do flips on a motorcycle?”  I asked him if he knew anything about motocross and he said sure I saw the X Games on TV. He was still sitting there babbling about his program as I got in my car and drove off in search of someone more competent. This experience got me to thinking about what were the components I was looking for in a fitness program. After some thought I decided I needed a flexible schedule with a trainer that understood MX and believed in competition at any age. Well what else? I decided I needed help with work outs, stretches, nutrition and a few new riding tips wouldn’t hurt. An old dog can always learn new tricks. My search was frustrating because none of the gym trainers really knew anything about moto, finally I realized the answer could be found on the internet.

Let me introduce you to our newest affiliate Ryno Power Gym. You will find a link in the upper right side of the site. This is the perfect training platform. Not only is it available 24/7 in your home it is complete. The program covers everything you could want and I think the trainer knows a little about the subject of MX.  Motocross asks a lot of the body and requires it to be strong, stable, coordinated and balanced with speed, intensity and focus. No other sport asks this much at once, so it is very important to train smart, not hard, in order to make improvements in your riding. Most of us have to integrate workouts into our work schedule. The cool thing with this website is that you can build your own workouts through these video movements, or you can follow the workouts Ryno has personally set up. I highly recommend this site for anyone interested in fitness and health. You will also learn more about riding faster and safer.

We will be posting monthly contributions from Ryno here at mx43.com. Enjoy this short work out video.
