Everything I Use To Stay Fit (In My 50s)

Purple Star emoji 36 items
I used to run and take kickboxing classes until my late 40s when high impact workouts started triggering headaches.  So for the past few years, I have been doing more yoga, pilates, and walking.  I've also been using relaxation techniques like foam, rolling, massaging to reduce tension and tightness.

Home Equipment

I work out (and relax) at home, so this is the equipment I've been using for my low-impact workouts.

I haven't used the domes, but I use everything else almost daily to help with aches and stiffness.  You can find Lo Rox videos on You Tube if you need guidance on how ot use these.
