Preserving Longevity: Finding Fitness That Fits You

The truth is, most fitness advice isn't designed with the unique needs and challenges of mid-life and beyond in mind.
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a rut, despite your best efforts?
As our bodies evolve and change, so too must our approach to health and well-being.
Chasing numbers on the scale or adhering to one-size-fits-all routines can leave us feeling frustrated, depleted, and disconnected from our own bodies.
It's time to stop blindly following generic health advice and start paying attention to what your body is telling you.
Your body has its own alarm system, and it lets you know when something is wrong..
Together, we'll explore why traditional approaches often miss the mark, and reveal the key strategies for optimizing your health, energy, and vitality at any age.

Loved this discussion. I am 68 was always active but this year I really felt my age. And, I am falling more. I know I need to exercise so the idea of exercise snacks got me. I can start there and that gives me hope. Thanks so much. Love this channel.
