Day 2 #backday workout with #tonyb at 73. 💪 Thinking of doing a #seniorfit app 🤔📱🤔📱 I never really got to learn how to properly train at the gym and learning a lot from tony about nutrition, proper form and overall wellness. It's like learning all over again from my shredded Italian uncle! #alwaysbelearning #respecttheelders #oldschoolbodybuilding

FITNESS:  NEVER TOO LATE 2BEFIT!

It you fail to move (exercise) your body, it may fail to move you in a protective way that avoids injury. Suppose you happen to trip over a wrinkle in the carpet. If you have built memory into your muscles from consistent exercise, your body will instinctively engage itself to protect you in a fall.  This is why conditioning your upper body (hands, wrists, arms, torso) is essential to besting any such mishap.  Exercises that require lifting weights and pulling against tension bands are good ways to achieve upper body strength.

While conditioning your upper body, also focusing on balance is critical. Balance routines initially have an awkward feel as limbs war against supporting offset weight.  Still, working with your body to grow accustomed to right responses in such situations is key for balance mastery.  Your core (intra-abdominal muscles) develop and automatically engage, granting you the ability to pull inward and away from collapsing onto a weaker side.

As you condition your upper body and perfect balance, also perform maneuvers to increase your  flexibility.  Having the ability to truly stretch a muscle, twist your torso, or to reach comfortably overhead  can prove to be life-saving. They enable you to manipulate your body possibly towards safety in the aftermath of a fall.

The better equipped you are to handle unusual situations life can present, the better you are at not succombing to serious injury - because your body can overcome unusual physical events.  Carpets do wrinkle and gravity does occasionally win out over us; therefore, we would be wise to prep ahead and then emerge in body victory - because we prepared ourselves 2BeFit!
