It’s essential to know your body and all its limitations. You may have an old injury and need to avoid certain movements, or keep to low impact, or perhaps have some specific exercises before you start your day. If you are in any doubt, speak to your GPO or have a physio assessment so you are confident that your body is up to the challenge and any niggles are looked at first.
Keep focusing on your fitness regimen throughout your life. As we age, we all lose flexibility, so we need more time to limber up, stretch, and mobilise regularly. Reducing impact becomes increasingly important.
Pay attention to your ‘core’, as this provides support for your back, neck, shoulders, and hips and can protect you from injury. Pilates is an excellent way of achieving this.
