#Ageism Doesn’t Belong Here. #Community Does. 🛡️💪🏾

My SPARTA Strength Class (ages 65–97) at the Malden Senior Center welcomed two summer interns into a full-body experience. ✨These rockstars didn’t just demonstrate—they inspired. From cheers to high-fives, it was age-defying unity in motion.

📣We’re not just breaking a sweat—we’re breaking stereotypes.

People who survive heart attacks often emerge feeling like they have a new lease on life. They might quit their jobs, go to Disneyland or otherwise make big change. One change they ought to be thinking about: Physical activity. Many studies have shown #exercise and #fitness to be vital to good #health, in just about all situations. Including after a heart attack, new research reveals. Even light activity goes a long way.

"It's the idea of health professionals 'literally prescribing you a community activity or resource the same way they'd prescribe you pills or therapies,' she [Julia Hotz] explains. The prescriptions include exercise, art, music, exposure to nature and volunteering, which are known to have enormous benefits to physical and mental health."

Last night, my carpool buddy told me that at the Philadelphia #Tango Festival, a local professional was 🤯 by Martín & Maurizio’s lesson on pivoting bc they generate it at the hip. That’s how Maurizio does 1080° pivots.

Maurizio has tried to teach it to me before, but he’s the only teacher I’ve heard teach it that way.

Today in #Pilates, the instructor told me “pivots come from the hips” before hip exercises. I told her the above. “It’s a big joint. It has more power. Why wouldn’t you?”

Me, last night, to carpool buddy: “imagine if I’d started Pilates in 2012 when my doctor told me to. Well, second best time is now.”

Pilates teacher, today: “imagine if you’d started Pilates before tango.”

Yeah.

⏳Unearthed from the 2021 Fitness Foundry vault: the landmine split jerk.💥

🎯 A powerful, non-traditional move to build unilateral explosiveness—great for addressing muscle imbalance, control, and stability. I was 47 when I filmed this, and it’s still a staple in my programming today.💪🏾
