I believe we can all thrive regardless of age and encourage all women to act to prevent age related physical and mental deterioration. Lets explore the tools and skills which allow us to thrive up to, through and beyond menopause.
@@sofisundar2201 thanks for sharing this. Palpitations was one of my biggest problems , also fixed by HRT. I still get it from time to time if I eat too much salt in the evening, or caffeine too late in the day
Hey Ms.Phillipa, I saw the videos on your channel. Your video content is excellent. To grow & increase the view of your channel you need to optimize your videos. SEO Score is very low. The title, Description, and Tags are not SEO-friendly. Videos are not shared on Social Media platforms and many other problems are found on your RU-vid Channel. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO friendly then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. So immediately need SEO for your Videos & RU-vid channel. Do you want to improve those problems and grow your RU-vid Channel?
when I was 42. After 2 and a half years, my period came back on January 22 this year, but now it's been 3 months and it hasn't come every month. What are you doing?
It is important that any bleeding that occurs post menopause should be investigated by your Medical practitioner. Please contact them as soon as possible to investigate this change.
Fascinating! I am successfully using acupuncture going through perimenopause and can’t recommend it enough to relieve suffering and discomfort. Also love the grandmother hypothesis ❤️
One uses the hands to provide strength that the legs to not have. In order to rise without using the hands ( arms ) ones leg muscles must be strong. Exercises that strengthen the quads and other leg muscles are necessary to do. How much upper body weigh you are carrying is a factor, too.
If you mean Hot Flash the answer is that women continue to experience symptoms after periods cease on average for 4 years. But for some women this can go on for much longer into 60s and 70s.
I can't do this. Only when lowering me on top of 3 thick books I manage to stand up. However with one leg stepping back. The problem is not strength but flexibility. I am struggling to get my weight over my feet when I try to stand up. Probably because I can't sit crosslegged since I'm 15, and now I'm 59. I am training to sit cross-legged for a couple of months now and it improving slowly. I think that in a couple of months I might be able to do this exercise.
I love the way you have adapted this exercise to suit your current capabilities. Sitting down onto a pile of books and gradually making the pile lower sounds like a great way of progressing. It is interesting that there is a huge amount of anatomical variation in the way our hip joints are constructed and so take care never to force your hip joints into ranges of movement that feel blocked. Take care and do let me know how you get on. Phillipa
Having strong ankles is good for you even when you are elderly. Like all things there are indications and contraindications and any qualified professional will make a judgement as to what is appropriate for each individual client. There is nothing that suits everybody, but as a general rule being able to get off the ground with these is a good thing.
Its handy to be able to get up and down off the ground for lots of reasons. Playing on the floor with grandkids is on my list of things I want to be able to do. that is something we need to bet fit for and training begins way before, ideally in our 40s
Should also bear in mind that this so called “longevity test” came out over 10 years ago and was a study conducted in Brazil and w only about 2000 participants, so hardly a scientific study. The medical community has punched all sorts of holes in a lot of the claims and conclusions coming out of the study, so dont think you will die sooner than the guy or woman who can get off the floor w no hands😂
Looks like one of the main things to do is to push on the outside of your ankles of both feet. But if you have weak ankles, there is absolutely no way this will work. I do Pilates, walk over 10K steps per day, in very good shape at age 65 and not able to get off the floor without my hands, nor do I feel this has anything to do w longevity or anything else. My soon to be 95 year old mother could not have done this exercise at any point in her life, but heck, she’s 94!! The other thing, if you’re able to do the asian squat, chances are almost 100% you can get off the floor w no hands. Bottom line: doesnt mean much if you can or cant!😊
If you are Caucasian, you most likely have a difficult time doing an Asian squat-squatting with heels on the ground. I have always been able to do this-yes, I am White. With my 80th birthday coming up next year, and a hip replacement done two years ago , because of a bike accident, I can get off the ground without using my hands. I do believe that a strong abdominal helps a lot as well as relatively strong legs. My sights are on a triple digit life span.
Staying fit does have a downside if you encounter injuries. A hip replacement does limit your range of movement and will make getting up and down of the ground more difficult. If your goal is to reach triple figures keep on training. lift heavy weights 2-3 x a week, Zone 2 cardio training 45 minutes 3 x a week, interval type training 1 x a week and work on stability training. Good luck Phillipa x
I thought the video was to show how to do it - not watching someone who can obviously do it with ease - some techniques, things to work on and things you can do to build strength would have been really helpful - sorry not helpful at all!
You are right of course. This video is my demonstration of the test. I assembled a playlist of 25 videos to help people master the sitting rising test. Here is the link to the playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLnc7Gkffr3au_LRMxj8yyFylbre46oQzX&si=GV74BFQnLmOJiB-P Have a go and let me know how you get on.
This test was used in a scientific paper to evaluate levels of fitness and it was shown to be a predictor for how long you will live. You need to be strong supple, and have a good balance. All of which point to Longevity.
Quite right Brian. Still worth practicing. You never know when you might need to get up off the ground. You could try it with a sturdy chair in front of you to lean on. 😉
@@movewithphillipa I occasionally work on an old classic Jeep that sometimes requires me to get on the ground to get under it and I get up by going to one side or the other and using my hands etc. It's not pretty but I can get up lol. No hands is impossible.
What a great conversation - and an important one too. It was so lovely to collaborate with you in this discussion on cancer and menopause. Looking forward to future events!
Obviously there is more than one way to do this as long as it suits the individual. Another channel advocates always having the right foot in front of the left. When I tried it, I instinctively had my left foot in front of my right, but it worked for me, so thats what matters. 😊
I agree we all have a preference for the way we cross our legs R over L or L over R. if you set out in the unfamiliar position you are less likely to be successful. So you are absolutely right to choose your preferred starting position and celebrate your success. 😀

What a great chat! I know our viewers will take a deep breath and try to relax when the audio gets a bit scratchy (just like life - we can't always be perfect).
