Strength Training for Muscle Preservation
Regular resistance exercises using bodyweight or light equipment help support muscle mass as we age. Focus on compound movements like squats and pushes performed with control two to three times weekly to build a foundation that aids daily activities and metabolic health.
Mobility Work for Fluid Movement
Incorporating daily mobility drills such as hip openers and shoulder circles enhances range of motion. This practice supports better posture and reduces stiffness, allowing for more comfortable movement patterns throughout a long active life in the city.
