I know, right? 😂 It’s always younger people demonstrating the exercises!

Aside from not having to hear the groans and creaks from an older lady awkwardly struggling to get down on a yoga mat, showing us how to go through the motions or, some old dude making us feel bad because “that guy is 80 and he can still get up off the floor? Why can’t I do that??!!”, I’m sure there’s a marketing ploy to give us a ‘positive body image’ in our heads so that we feel younger and aspire to look youthful!

Ok, case in point…while I’m walking on the beach, the 60’s song “Girl from Ipanema goes walking…” is playing in my head. I feel like her!! Hahaha and then, in reality, I’m a 68 year old leukemia/bone marrow transplant survivor with wrinkles, bulges in weird places, battle scars, saggy skin, veins making roadmaps on my legs …well, you get the picture. So that mental imagine is a valuable tool in helping promote a virtual reality in my head. 😅

What are some of your favorite exercises and whom would you like to see have demonstrating these from a 60+ ?? ☺️

By the way, welcome to Connect! I see you’ve had some spinal surgery and it sounds pretty painful. Are you doing better today and getting the help you need?
Will you have any special exercises with a physical therapist?
