Morning Routine
Starting your day with some stretches seems like it could change things for both your body and your mind. I think the science shows they lengthen muscles and boost flexibility which gives you more movement overall. This helps wake up the muscles and joints that tightened up while you slept. It does more than just […]
Transforming Your Living Room Into A Gym
Turning your living room into a gym takes some planning around the space you already have. Picking equipment that fits what you want to do without crowding the room seems important. Foldable mats or resistance bands work for that along with smaller weights. You need to keep things safe so nothing gets in the way […]
Stretching Before Bed

Hi, I think working out is super important especially as you get older. Exercise is an easy thing to put off. It takes hard work and disciple. The rewards are worth it though. Better physical and mental health. Which means being a better friend and family member to those that need you to be there for them.
Also it helps you enjoy life more when you feel good about yourself.
what advice would you give to someone that is in their 60s and interested in starting exercise.? Also, do you know of gyms give seniors discounts?

Thank you very much for your comments. To start from scratch, having done nothing at all. I suggest the normal getting up and reach for the ceiling stretch. That is the first one to do, but not stretch as far as you can on the first one. Do this about three times. Then on the fourth one, reach for the ceiling as far as you can. Then do a couple more and try to stretch on your tipped toes.
As far as gym discounts; I don’t know of any. On this site most of the content can be done at home. Walking, which I highly recommend can be done with all your activities or in a gym if that is more comfortable for you.
Again, Thanks for your comments/
