My friends, I don’t know about you, but for me STRETCHING has definitely been an acquired taste🍴, yet I can’t deny how amazing I feel after a workout like this. And of course we all know how important these kinds of moves are to our body as we age.
I’ve grown to appreciate workouts that allow us to not only EXPAND OUR MUSCLES, but to EXPAND OUR MIND as well by changing things up.
In today’s workout, we’re improving FLEXIBILITY, increasing our RANGE OF MOTION, and maintaining our STRENGTH as we move gently from one exercise to another, with moderate walking in between. It’s active aging at its finest!
And although we’re using a chair, we’re getting bonus balance⚖ and brain work, too. THIS is a great way to round out your exercise regimen as you move toward your WEIGHT LOSS goal!
Grab a chair and join me for a FUN WORKOUT that’s anything but ordinary!
