How do I keep my joints mobile as I age?

Much of the stiffness people accept as "just getting older" is not age at all - it is years of the body living in one and the same load until it went still. Joints do not have to stiffen: they simply miss regular movement in their full range. Watch any animal getting out of its den - the first thing it does is stretch. People forget to.

Gravity Stretching is gentle by design, which makes it ideal for later years. the lianas carry your weight, so you move through a comfortable range without strain, decompression of the body creates space and takes the pressure off, and calm breathing keeps the whole thing pleasant rather than hard. There is nothing in the body that cannot be revived by soft, regular work - and it is never too late to start with three seconds.

If you are over 60, start with a one-on-one session so the trainer sets everything up just for you. Little and often beats occasional and hard.
