Joseph Pilates had a lot to say about aging. In fact, one of his most famous sayings is that we are only as old as our spines.
And in many ways, that is true. I mean, think about it.
If a 30 year old is disabled by back pain, to the point where pain pills are necessary and activities are limited, how old is that person, really?
And if a 53 year old has finally stabilized her pelvis and manages to find full ranges of motion in her joints and both stability and mobility in her spine, how old is she, really? ;-)
My inner age is late 30s, early 40s. I keep waiting to look and feel much older, but so far I am not experiencing that, even after I quit all my hormone replacement.
What is your inner age?
Are you older, younger, or the same as your chronological age?
