Most of us think of our health and fitness efforts as an ALL-OR-NOTHING endeavour.

We picture the numerous things we’ll need to do to feel that we’re on track and satisfied with the situation.

Since this often takes a lot of time and energy, we put our health and fitness on pause until we feel we can do this without failing.

When we become ready and motivated to prioritize our health we create a game plan that will tick off all the boxes and we get excited.

Sometimes that excitement can blind us from the reality that sooner or later, life will get in the way… again. Because that’s just how life is.

Stretching has a positive impact on both your lifespan and your healthspan. Your lifespan is how long you live. Healthspan is how long you live disease and disability free.

Not only can it help you to live longer by improving your mobility (which helps you to move more), but your quality of life will also be significantly improved by stretching on a regular basis.

Today we compiled 6 must-do stretches for people over 50. By doing these stretches on a regular basis you will be able to overcome a lot of the obstacles that arise for the person over 50.
