Great story. Weight lifting is an important part of my exerise schedule which is set up to have equal amounts of cardio, weight training and flexibility every week. I'm in the best shape of my life as I veer toward 70 years old. It's funny how our children can be so impactful.

I started a yoga practice about fifteen years ago at the suggestion of my adult daughter, Bree. We joined a gym together and met up regularly for yoga classes. I was stiff (from years of a cardio-focused workout regiment), timid and wobbly. The delight I experienced rolling out my yoga mat next to my daughter overshadowed my ambivalence about spending an hour being clumsy doing an activity that I didn't enjoy. I always chose a spot next to a wall to use as a balance assist.

Slowly, I saw my balance and flexibility improve. Fast forward fifteen years, and I have excellent balance (both legs) and can even perform headstands and handstands. Thanks, Bree.
