When Florine Schuber was in her early 80s, she hadn't experienced a lot of older people have.
She started falling.
The one thing that old people don't realize when they fall is they don't know they're falling until you're about this far from the ground.
And I found it pretty frightening.
Florine fell two or three times.
Thankfully, she didn't get hurt.
But she did realize something had to change.
So there was a small gym near where I lived.
And I had passed it for 13 years, I'm embarrassed to tell you, and never went in.
But I thought, OK, I've got to do something about this.
So I walked in, told them my problem,
and they introduced me to a young trainer, and I'm still with him.
Florine is 91 years old now,
and she spent a lot of time over the last decade working on her strength and flexibility and balance.
She says she feels younger now than she did 10 years ago.
So you can improve.
And I see it in myself for sure.
I'm much, much stronger than I was 10 years ago.
So I know that's possible.
I'm surprised at how much interest I have in the world and in courses and it's exciting.
