Itβs never too late to start exercising, build muscle and movement capacity!
My Dad, pictured here with my daughter, came to Cairns last October. His ability to walk anything beyond than 50-100 metres was severely lacking and he struggled to get himself up out of a chair. I gave him a few basic exercises that I thought he could do when he returned home down south. That motivated him to get a more comprehensive program from the Physiotherapist attached to his independent living village which involved strengthening his legs, arms, hips, back, and more. Plus he embarked on a daily program of taking a walk outside with his walker.
As a movement professional, the transformation I see in him is nothing short of remarkable. Back again in Cairns to celebrate his 95th birthday, Dad has walked and walked and walked (easily over a kilometre on a couple of occasions) and is better able to rise to stand and get down to sit.
My point is that itβs never to late to start strength training and building movement capacity. Although itβs better to start young, you can do it at any age.
Looking forward to seeing everyone back in the Studio starting again tomorrow! πͺπ»π¦΅π»πππ»π
