Mobility at a young age is so underrated! Looking at other countries and cultures you can see just how much of a difference mobility makes as we age.

I'm in my late 30s and have not done kegels, I know I should have after having kids but I'm going to add it to my goals list. So often we forget that what we may consider a "minor inconvenience" now may end up being a major issue as we age. Been loving your videos!

I still just can’t get over changes in my midsection with menopause. It makes me feel so awful. All my HRT, my exercising, my diet-none of it erases that darkness.

I had to have a discectomy and fusion in my cervical spine when I was 29 thanks to getting rear-ended twice in 14 months (thanks, Seattle traffic!). The only upside is that I discovered in my 30s how important stretching and strengthening (not just “vanity” muscles, but the entire body!) is. My true workout love is running, and this has only reinforced to me how important cross-training and stretching are to avoid injury and improve performance. Not the best way to learn, but you gotta look for the silver lining in a less-than-ideal situation. 😊

Take a look at my Grand baby girl. All day long she does full squats. With and without weights. She stands on her head, she balances to kiss her sister’s head. Because, for her, movement is fun. I sure wish I had kept movement fun, a natural part of life. But I’m getting better at a full squat. Slowly. And, the best advice I have is stop sitting. If you can stand, stand. Sweep and mop your floors. Hang your laundry to dry. Wash your dishes by hand. And, yes, work at your pelvic floor muscles both morning and night! By doctor tried to tell me 23 years ago, and, had I listened, toting my grand babies would mean I wouldn’t have to worry what that weakness might allow. Thank you again for all the helpful advice!

I'm really interested in bodybuilding without the competitive side. 50 and fabulous. This is my life now !!! I love it. I've been doing squats for a couple of years now.. not so much for the booty, more to help with my hiking and the elevation.. I shall keep you informed of my strength training shenanigans. Pelvic floor muscles are key !!! Oh yes. We've all had that scary sneeze lol 😃 Appreciate you so much xx

Yesss, 100% stretch!!! Every morning and throughout the day. I've noticed my hamstring is starting to tighten as I sit at my desk for prolonged periods of time working, and then when I go to run I get shin splints so I have to stretch my hammy and calves. I also invested in an under the desk bike (deskcycle 2.0) which has helped keep me active during work hours.

I have been moving and now catching up on past videos. Great video, Mama Tenny! The points you made are all so valid. I am grateful that KZbin pushed yoga videos to my feed over a year ago which jump started my yoga journey; yoga really helps with all the things you talked about 😁. I have poor upper body strength too, but doing chaturangas have helped me with push ups so much! I am still not great and doing pull ups is not anywhere near in my future either, but I have progessed a lot from pre yoga and much more so than lifting weights.

What a great idea for a video! I feel like such the odd one out but the whole big butt thing.... I don't understand it. The advice in this is so important for people to listen to, exercise and certain movements/stretches are so beneficial and underrated. My Nana makes sure to go for a walk daily, even if it's just short. I can't stress enough (LoL, no pun intended! 😂), how important meditation is. I was a chronic stressor for years and found meditation was extremely helpful and necessary. If I don't get to meditate once a day, I really notice such a difference and it's not worth not doing it anymore. Awesome video 😊❤️

Mama Tenny, my spine is fused from the T1 through the T5 vertebrae, you were talking about thoracic and overall spinal health during the stretching and back exercises sections of the video. I healed with poor posture due to hunching aginst the pain too much during recovery so I do need to improve on pulling my shoulders down out of a hunch. What stretches and exercises would you recommend for someone in my situation?
