From the euphoria of the gridiron, to the depths of stress, isolation and depression - and back again. For as long as he can remember, BJ Daniels ate, slept and breathed football. He became a star quarterback at the University of South Florida and went on to play professionally in the NFL, winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. In many ways, it seemed like BJ was living every athlete's dream. However, he also saw first-hand the lows that accompany being a football player at the highest level. The mental health struggles both he and his teammates faced – often in silence – have inspired a new passion and purpose in him: to share his story, from setbacks to success, and encourage others to face their wellbeing head-on. Here, with raw vulnerability, through his own lived experience, BJ explores the importance of resilience, mindset, dedication, passion and perseverance – all of which can help you to rise above your circumstances. This audiobook embodies BJ’s mission to "Leave No One Behind", and shows us that, beyond all our obstacles, there’s a life worth living.Mostra libro

Strength training is a powerful tool for maintaining and improving health as we age. For seniors, it offers numerous benefits that go beyond building muscle, including enhanced mobility, improved balance, and a greater sense of independence. While the idea of lifting weights or performing resistance exercises might seem intimidating to some, it is a safe and highly effective way to maintain vitality when approached with the right knowledge and guidance. As we grow older, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass in a process known as sarcopenia. This gradual decline can affect strength, balance, and overall functionality. However, regular strength training can slow, and in some cases, even reverse these effects. By engaging in a consistent exercise routine, seniors can improve their ability to perform everyday activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or simply getting out of a chair. Another critical advantage of strength training is its impact on bone health. Aging can lead to reduced bone density, increasing the risk of fractures and conditions like osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises stimulate bone growth and strengthen the skeletal system, making them an essential part of a senior’s fitness regimen.Mostra libro
