At the Milano Senior Center in #Melrose, MA, members ages 65–97 are proving that movement builds more than muscle—it builds belonging. This seated battle ropes circuit (side winders!) delivers more than physical power—it’s community in motion.💪🏾

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?”
