Stay active and stretchy. Go join a pilates / yoga club.

Seriously, It’s been nuts watching friends / in laws / hubs grumping about farting wrong and throwing their backs out, meanwhile i actually broke my back a few years back and am older and don’t have issues.

(I also did gymnastics for years. Can’t do a full floor routine no mo but can still very easily roundoff / cartwheel/back arch as i barrel to my 50’s)

Normally I’m quite active, but recent issues have sidelined me. My current exercise regimen is limited to walk and bike rides. Yoga isn’t a bad idea. I was doing it for 3 years (started during lockdowns) and gave up due to lack of time.

  Small but fun thing to make you go “fuck” - sit on your couch.
  
  Now get up without using your hands.
  
  It’s amazing how our own laze sneaks up on us.

    Hahaha…I do that all the time. Thankfully my core is pretty strong so I can usually do it…with a lot of grunting of course.
    
    When picking things up on the floor, keep one leg straight, and lift the other one behind you (also straight) while bending at the waist.
    
    Kids make fun of me, but honestly little challenges like that add up over a long time.

    That’s a single leg body weight deadlift FWIW.

    For me lockdown and worsening health issues/medical neglect undid all of the progress I’d made through physio.
    
    Maybe if I can work out a way to get enough calories in and actually get my blood pressure managed I can go back to physio

    One good test of overall fitness/mobility is to sit cross legged on the floor and then get up without using your hands :)
