To celebrate turning 76, I moved all day. Just my typical routine:
-100 jumping jacks
- headstand and handstand
- sun salutations and balance poses
- stretches including splits
- 90 sec deadhang
- 100 jumps on rebounder
- 9 minutes on vibration plate#
- 2 20 sec sprints on Carol bike
- 30 air squats and 100 pushups
- 25 min walk
- deadlifts up to 165 lbs
- barbell hip thrusts
- lat pull downs
- triceps pull downs
I do some variation of the above every day. Sometimes it’s more heavy resistance training with other exercises like chest presses and barbell squats, and other days more walking, yoga and Pilates.
But I always do some type of jumping, balance work, and strength training. I do all of this as snacks throughout the day. At 76, exercise is non-negotiable.

We’re Born to Walk.” That’s also the title of a book by @marksissonprimal . I try to walk every day, especially after dinner. Great for blood sugar regulation. And it’s the best antidepressant out there!
I love walking in my @wearpeluva barefoot shoes.

We’re creating a REVOLUTION in healthcare!
@plminstitute Clinical Mastery Conference presented cutting edge information, including insights from @drjeffreybland , the father of Functional Medicine, @dalebredesen , @ashleykoffapproved , @pathanaway , @davidperlmutter , and @draustinperlmutter .
It’s always a thrill to run into FMCA students and graduates! And no event would be complete without the amazing @holisticmommd feeding the attendees- this time with a birthday cake she made for Jeff Bland’s 80th!
Did you know that “Alzheimer’s disease is optional?” So many more insights!
So grateful that these visionary leaders are presenters for FMCA!

Exercise snacking: while my pour-over coffee brews, I’m doing air squats. I’ve learned that small moments add up, and movement doesn’t need a full workout to count.

Dead hanging doesn’t have to be done from a bar at the gym. Playgrounds are not just for little kids! They’re great locations for practicing dead hangs!

Tap dancing isn’t just fun. It’s great for brain health and good for your feet. Plus you can do it at any age! I know a woman in her 90s who teaches tap in a walker!
