To maintain your ability to move up and down from the floor as you age, practice makes perfect. Be intentional about spending more time on the floor:
- Forgo the couch. When watching TV or reading a book, sit on the floor instead.
- Add floor stretches to the end of your workouts.
- Take a class. Join exercise classes that include floor time — think Yoga or Pilates.
