🌟 80+ Strong & Tall – Posture Power with a Dowel 🌟
Age is just a number — posture is power! 💙
Here’s a safe and effective exercise for 80+ to strengthen your back, open your chest, and improve daily movement.
🪄 The Exercise:
✔️ Place a dowel (or broomstick) behind your back
✔️ Hold it with both hands
✔️ Hinge forward with a straight back until you’re about 90 degrees
✔️ Push the dowel away from your body as far as comfortable
✔️ Return to standing tall
That’s 1 rep — aim for 15–20 slow, controlled reps.
Breathe. Move with control. No rushing.

💪 Why This Exercise Is Important After 80
As we age, we naturally round forward. This movement:
✅ Strengthens the upper back
✅ Improves posture
✅ Opens tight shoulders and chest
✅ Supports balance
✅ Encourages safe hip hinging mechanics
Better posture means better breathing, better confidence, and lower fall risk.
