Being in my early 50s, I've got less time to exercise than I used to. Here's what I actually do.
Full time physical therapist, content creator for FB and YouTube, aging parents, and my own midlife body changes, it's all competing for the same 24 hours. Sound familiar?
After 27+ years as a physical therapist, my priority right now is maintaining strength, mobility, and function — while still having energy for the dance workout I do every Sunday.
My Saturday session:
10-min bike warm-up
Landmine single-leg RDL — 4x8-10 (B-stance on my right side, old hamstring injury)
Banded shoulder flexion between sets
Landmine bent-over row — 4x10-12
Feet-elevated side plank with hip dips
Landmine half-kneeling shoulder press
Single-leg hip thrust
Banded kickback and fire hydrant variations
Part 2 next Saturday — Monday training, why I pulled back on cardio, and how I think about programming in my 50s.
Save this if you want the full routine to reference.
