Age Gracefully (and Functionally)
Functional fitness is the key to strength, health, and happiness in our wiser years
Updated Sep 27, 2018
True functional fitness training is the real fountain of youth. In fact, you can be in better shape now than 20 years ago just by incorporating and strengthening a few simple yet effective movement patterns.
I recently shared a room with family—40 to 80 years of life expertise—and presented the term “aging gracefully.” Unsurprisingly, it was met with laughter and humorous counter-quips. Well, the truth is that it all boils down to one simple concept: use it or lose it.
