We’ve created a gentle, follow-along workout that is perfect for anyone over 60 looking to enhance their mobility. This routine requires no special equipment and can be done right in your living room. In this 15-minute session, we will focus on key areas that often become tight:

**Shoulders:** For easier reaching and dressing.

**Hips:** To help with walking, standing up, and bending.

**Spine:** To improve posture and reduce back discomfort.

Each movement is demonstrated clearly and is designed to be gentle on your body. Remember to listen to your body and only move within a range that feels comfortable for you. Incorporating this short routine into your week can make a massive difference in how you feel and move every single day. Give it a try and take the first step towards a more mobile, confident you!
