One of our members requested this information be posted. Some really great advice if you ask me...
As we age we do not think about getting off the floor while we are young and strong but it is something that we need to place into the fore front of our minds. We need to start thinking about the possibility of not being able to get up after a fall. The actions and planning that we do today will determine our ability to get up off the floor when we are older.
Almost everybody has seen the commercial about the oldster that has fallen and is unable to get up. While we are younger; we do not think too much about it but we need to start. As we age we will find many changes that will take place within our bodies and some of them are not going to be pleasant.
We need to begin to incorporate movements into our daily lives that address the simple act of getting off the floor. If you have not begun exercising; you need to begin now!
Think about it! How many ways can you think of to get off the floor without using something to pull yourself up? You need to develop the skills to find different ways to get back into a standing position from the floor.
Start now and begin using the different modes to get up. Now it can be easy but someday your life might be dependent upon your ability to do what is necessary to get up.
You need to take steps to strengthen your core muscles, your back muscles and your leg and arm muscles to insure you are able to continue getting up. When you think about it; you need to keep all your muscles well toned.
We are all getting get older and some of us may get weaker than we want so we need to take steps now to insure that we will not be similar to the person in the commercial that is unable to get up. We boomers are at the age where we need to take this issue serious and take proactive actions to eliminate the danger of being unable to get up.

Thank you Jen. I think about this a lot and am glad to have the GRMC yoga classes to help keep me able-bodied!
