Happy National Tell a Story Day!
Here’s one of my favorites recently…maybe you’ve seen the 10 sec video on Instagram or YouTube?
Apparently it struck a chord with Instagram followers, anyway…it’s at 100,000+ views.
What’s the story? Well, here you go:
“My IT bands hurt,” said my 80 year old neighbor a couple of months ago.
I often see her in the morning walking her dog Thomas.
“Have you tried walking sideways to help it?” I asked.
I looked down at her knees which were looking like eggbeaters on land. Totally collapsed inwards.
“No!” she said, “How do you do it?”
I showed her, and got a report a few weeks later that her IT band pain had gone.
It’s now been a couple months, and I was delighted to see her take it up a notch with the hopping!
That was allllll her, not me!
We never had a formal workout- this was just a casual conversation one day while out walking the dogs.
Got IT Band pain? You need glutes to take pressure off the band, and walking sideways is one way to get those muscles working.
If you think you’re too old to get your body to change and get out of pain, talk to my neighbor.
She’ll say it isn’t so.
Send this to someone who needs help with their IT band.
There is always hope!
….
Just remember, there is ALWAYS hope.
Happy FriYAY!
Here’s to ageless balance, ageless strength, and ageless happiness,
