I wish you less chaos, Atropa.

After the algo figured out I was 65 I have been harassed with a variety of old fart info-tainment, but one thing of interest is the recurring emphasis on how to age more healthily.

One thing doctors focus on is how you walk. As it reveals a lot of things about your balance and cardiovascular health. The best predictor on how well you age can be assessed by them simply watching you walk across the room and back, and doing some balance exercises.

Fortunately, Pilates does a ton of this shit and has a lot of focus on grounded foot strength. Which is something I never thought about before I started Pilates.

But the tendon that connects your big toe is different than the muscles on the outside of your foot and the ball of your foot, arch and heel all need specific integrated work.

Since I had a late lunch I requested a workout today that didn't focus on bending at the waist, and so she had me do a rigorous foot and balance workout. Which was challenging but I feel better about how I'm going to make it through my 70s.
