Key Takeaways:
- Balance, strength and flexibility decline as we grow older – but if you’re willing to learn and adjust, you can protect your body from the risk of falling that increases with advancing age
- Adversities may limit our abilities but if we’re willing to learn and adjust we can continue to do what we love
- Constantly challenge yourself, never tell yourself that you’re too old to do anything
