I completely agree. Having a strong & muscled upper body isn't gonna keep us ambulatory if we are walking around on stick-figures for legs, and glutes that fell asleep and never woke up, decades ago.😳 What is also bothering me about this discussion - and especially this 'scientist'. She never cites studies. I'm left scratching my head about whether all this advice is hypothetical? Anecdotal 'evidence'? - or is it actually study supported? No idea.. 🤷‍♀️

@kestag2110 I'd go with what Dr. Sims recommends, for us women 😊 ...end of confusion.

Yes, but...is all this actually scientific fact (from RCT's) ?? - OR is this advice (about the optimal time) - for 'everyone' to exercise... is this a hypothetical? Since it seems to have been scientifically estabished that there are basically 3 or 4 chronotypes among populations... This fact does make me wonder why the advice here, about timing, seems to be generalized, i.e., the same for everyone?.. no matter their chronotype? Ditto, with this idea that 'older' people 'should' eat later in the day - rather than early -? No one is citing any studies here...kind of a turn-off for me.😳

@davidhayter8516 Imo she is a - most likely holds a PhD in some field of bioscience - bc if she is a 'Professor' and also conducts laboratory studies on aging - typically that type professor/scientist would be @ university - conducting lab studies (unless she's doing this under a mentor) she'd be @Phd level - ditto if she's a Univ. Professor.

Right, but, it seems to Mr that many don't really know. It's kind of a new concept, imo, and many physiologists are not yet up-to-speed on the subject.

I agree - fast twich muscle (that lessens with age) is PARAMOUNT to have maintained (with specific exercises) in the feet & legs. It's the fast-twich muscle that helps yo recover balance in a...oopsie!, "I tripped and nearly fell" scenario. Without having the muscle and flexibility in our lower limbs to help re-balance us and avoid a trip & fall is extremely important in avoiding a fall that would break a hip, for instance - which eventually = a mortal blow. 🙄

The more I listen to this discussion, the more I disagree with what's being advised (for the aged, especially).

@vickimoore5672 Imo - from what I've read , watched, listened to on this subject - The body needs to be exercised, fed, & rested (sleep), etc. at consistent, daily routine times. We throw our body's natural rhythm off (& can confuse our body, some experts say), if we fluctuate wildly, by hours for instance, with these daily activities (try not to fluctuate more than 30mins outside of our regular routine, for whatever activity, on any given day). That's why a daily routine - especially a morning routine - is highly recommended by health experts. Also, I just watched a Dr. Rhonda Patrick podcast interview of Dr. Huberman where they discuss this. There is a phenomonon called 'entrainment' that happens in the body when we routinely perform certain activities at the same time during the day. If, for instance, we decide we will exercise at a specific time every day, and we stick to this routine for at least 3-5 days (whether we 'feel' like it, or not), we will begin to really start feeling the impulse to exercise at this approximate time each day. This is because our body has become entrained to expect this activity at this time. Ditto with eating meals (we feel more hungry @ that same time ea day that we've established for eating ) AND...with sleep - if our nightly bedtime and our arising in the a.m. are kept consistent each day - we will feel naturally sleepy at our established bed-time - and are more apt to want to arise at our established time in the a.m.😊 Consistency is king😊
