A SNEAK PEAK – THE INTRODUCTION
When my Grandmother was 92 years old, she was hospitalized with pneumonia. Prior to her stay in the hospital, she was relatively healthy and moved well, without the assistance of a cane or walker.
As she rested and recovered in the hospital, she unfortunately lost her strength and mobility. As she began walking again, she was forced to use a walker for safety. Strong willed and stubborn as ever, she absolutely refused.
“I will not use that thing!” my Grandmother would tell me.
“Grandma, you know what that means,” I would respond. “You’re going to have to start exercising.”
At 92 years young, my grandmother had never exercised a day in her life. After many conversations and explaining my rationale in a variety of ways, she finally committed to start exercising, albeit with one stipulation:
“If you teach me.”
Exercise forged a close bond between my grandmother and me–not only because we started spending more time together, but because of what it enabled her, and by extension, us, to do together. She was able to walk in and out of our favorite restaurants so we could go together; she was able to climb the stairs to get in and out of my parent’s house; she was able to stand up tall to give great hugs and kisses, the way only a grandmother can; she was even able to travel across the country to my graduation as I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree! Living to be nearly 100 years old, she continued exercising and moving independently until the last day of her life.
Our team at MovementX has published this book with the hopes of creating close and meaningful relationships for others, as it did for my grandmother and me. Whether that means getting on and off the floor easily to play with your children or grandchildren, smoothly and safely squatting to pick something up from the ground, or lifting your baggage overhead to take your dream vacation, we are confident these exercises will help you live a healthy and fulfilled life.
And perhaps if you start exercising before you are 92 years old, you can do even better than my grandmother did. She became the biggest advocate for exercise after seeing its power and impact–in fact, she even once recruited her cab driver to walk around the rec center track with her! I know that she would want you to start exercising soon, do it frequently, and ensure you can maximize your movement so you can maximize your life- and we do too.
Cheers to the pursuit of moving and live your best. And what it means for you, and those around you.
