G: Howard, how old is your mother? She seems so young compared to my mom.
H: She'll be 78 next month.
G: What's her secret for staying so youthful? I mean, she doesn't move the way we typically think an old person moves.
H: She exercises evry day. She mainly focuses on mobility and flexibility, and a little bit on strength.
G: Tell me all her secrets so I can tell my mom.
H: The most important thing is for her to pace herself if she hasn't exercised in a while.
G: What does your mom do that would help "loosen up my mam's stiff back?
H: She starts each day with an easy yoga routine called "sun solution " You can find videos online showing how do to it.
G: Will improve her range of motion, too?
H: Absolutely! If she only did this short yoga routine, she would feel better in a short period of time.
G: I guess I'll get an idea of how much more she needs to do after a week or two./ H: That's a good start.
G: My mother has been doing the morning yoga routine you suggested. She's already a lot more flexible.
