When you go to the doctor for a checkup, you probably expect them to check your blood pressure and cholesterol. What they're less likely to test is whether you can get up from the floor without using your hands, balance on one leg for a minute or hang from a pull-up bar.
As we get older (and wiser, of course), it’s not just about those health markers, but how well we can actually move matters too. After all, living longer is one thing. Living well, and staying strong, mobile and independent enough to enjoy those extra years is another.
