As we age, our balance, stability and coordination can decline. One way to counteract this is to build strength with functional workouts.
Functional exercises mimic everyday actions and strengthen the muscles we use regularly, which can help us move well for longer.
And when we keep our bodies strong and agile, we are less prone to injury and chronic health conditions.
But this doesn’t mean spending hours in the gym or doing complicated workouts.

My grandpa lived until 91. He told me keep moving. Even at home. Don't be sedentary. He was WWII vet.

Squats: Place the beer on the BOTTOM shelf of the fridge for squats.
Hell Raises: self explanatory
Biceps curls: That beer ain't going in the mouth any other way.

Keep On Moving or it Rusts.....that includes your mind. Keep active physically, mentally, and Spiritually. Always be learning new things and taking on new hobbies, experiences and drink lots of water.

I can’t do squats. The ligament damage in my legs won’t let me. I’ve needed a cane since I was 38.

5 days a week, 2 Hours, 23 weight machines on heavy weights 20 reps each, Yoga stretches for 15 minutes, 30 minutes of flat out cardio.
I think I can safely skip the “Three simple exercises”.

Doing squats with 85 pounds permanently ruined my left knee. Something went wrong”pop”! And my strength has been reduced 25%.
