Hypermobility and Exercise? It's Complicated
Episode description
Today we're talking all about EXERCISE! Topics include:
- why exercise can (when done safely + appropriately) literally help hypermobile people to literally rebuild their bodies
- a bit about Alex's personal journey with exercise, and some lessons she learned along the way
- 8 must-know things before starting your next exercise programme
- a cheat-sheet for "Am I Getting Injured or Is This Just What Exercise Feels Like?"
The study that I refer to about being in the top 1/3 when it comes to strength at middle age is here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11357-011-9256-y
