What if I told you that the ability to stand on one leg while putting on a sock is more than a fun challenge?
Research links the inability to balance on one leg with a higher risk of falls and even mortality. As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass, strength, mobility, balance, and coordination. Little by little, everyday movements become harder.
And guess what?
I'm experiencing this myself. For years, menopause symptoms, life challenges, depression, anxiety, and a very different lifestyle I'm used to, have taken a toll on my body.
There was a time when I never had to think twice about standing on one leg during yoga poses or single-leg exercises. Now I do. I'm carrying extra weight. I'm weaker. Stiffer. Less mobile. My body doesn't move the way it used to. That's why I understand how quickly physical decline can happen when movement disappears from our daily lives.
The good news?
Research consistently shows that exercise can reduce the risk of falls and improve quality of life (BMJ 2012;345), and I know how to get started and how to help improve it. Strength training, mobility work, balance exercises, coordination drills, and power training can help us stay independent, capable, and confident as we age.
So, the question is:
How do you and I start today to make sure you can still do it 10, 20, or 30 years from now?
Comment "START" and I'll show you what I do.
