I live in an RV/mobile home community half of each year. Most of our winter residents are 55+. Back in November we started a structured 3X/week Chair + standing Yoga and exercise program and it has been interesting to see the progress in our group, which ranges in age from 44 to 80+.
My biggest self-awareness has been that my balance is much improved, even though I had been working on it on my own for some time - something about being with the group gives us a little extra incentive, I guess.
Another is that certain exercises/motions do not work for my body, so I have devised alternative movements to do during those. Only a few times have I felt the need for my trusty PT at home since doing my exercises 3 days a week and Yoga for 3 more days!
