I remember watching Jack LaLanne as a kid growing up. He was an inspiration. 😊⭐️

The body adapts at any age when you give it a reason to.

Your muscles don’t know how old you are.
They respond to challenge.

Your heart responds to movement.
Your bones respond to resistance.
Your balance improves when you practice it.

That’s how the body works.

When you ask more of it, it begins to change.

Walk consistently and your endurance improves.
Lift weights and your muscles grow stronger.
Stretch regularly and your mobility returns.

The goal isn’t to be younger.
The goal is to become more capable.

Age may influence how you train, but it does not eliminate your ability to improve.

Give your body a reason to respond.
Then stay consistent long enough to see what it can do.

Chest expansion on the Reformer looks easy: stand on your knees and pull. But you’re pulling with resistance and if you don’t keep controlled pressure on the springs you could lose your balance and fall into the well!! I’ve seen it happen. It’s whole body integration. Standing (on the knees) chest expansion is more intermediate than beginner. Here’s a great explanation. 🙂
