Wave goodbye to someone and you might notice a little extra movement at the back of your arm that carries on a beat after your hand has stopped. That softness along the backs of the upper arms is one of the first changes many people notice after 60, and it’s easy to assume it’s simply […]
After 60, you may have noticed your legs aren’t as strong as they once were. Getting up from a low seat, hustling across an intersection before the light changes, or catching yourself after a stumble all depend on leg power, which unfortunately diminishes the older you get. Fortunately, ETNT is here to help. We chatted […]
Balance training should be a top priority in everyone’s workout routine as they age. Having the right balance exercises in place can help protect the quality of your bones, keep your coordination in check, and prevent you from falling. In fact, staying strong, flexible, and mobile could reduce your risk of mortality significantly as you […]
A wall might be the most underrated training tool in your house. It gives you support, feedback, and enough structure to turn simple movements into a focused waist-trimming workout. After 65, that lower barrier to entry can make a big difference because the workout is easier to start and repeat. Gym classes have their place, […]

Getting some movement in early can make the rest of the day feel a little easier. Your body has been still for hours, and a few focused exercises give you a chance to loosen up and build strength for your first steps of the morning. After 60, that daily practice can help you hold onto […]
By 65, a decade or more of sitting has usually left its mark on the body. Hips tighten at the front, shoulders round forward, the glutes switch off, and the lower back takes the strain for all of it. I’ve seen that pattern again and again over almost four decades as a personal trainer and […]
