Meet Shirley and Sheila, 83 and 82 aren’t they AWESOME!? 🙌 besties since nursing school… Drop a ❤️ or a message for them ⬇️. I filmed this back in the summer and forgot to share it, but these two deserve to be seen! I hope it inspires someone you love. 💛 Share it with them! Their secret to stronger legs? Lots of walking and daily assisted squats (some days more than 10! Shelia just told me she sometimes does 40! How many can you do?). 💪 I call it the “sink squat” because you can do it right at your kitchen sink (Shirley and Sheila did theirs on a restaurant railing! 😂). Technically you’re not pulling on the sink or railing, just holding on gently for balance. The real strength comes from those legs! Always check that whatever you hold is sturdy and safe. ✅ Why it matters: research shows strong legs mean easier stairs, fewer falls, a sharper brain, and a longer life. 🧠 No gym. No equipment. Just sneak it in. 😉 Would you try the sink or assisted squat? 👇 @cindysullivanfitness Midlife & Senior Home Fitness Tips. You got this because you deserve to feel your best at any age🦋. Had to add location: @theoldcasinofalmouth - beautiful relaunched restaurant in Falmouth Cape cod! And after I posted @artmindy shared she did the mural on the wall (I have two of her pieces in my house!! 🤯) 🥰 #seniorfitness #over50fitness #legstrength #healthyaging #exercisesnacks

Let’s hear it for my MIL Shirley & her BFF Sheila!! (🗣️Shelia told me she tells everyone they have to do our kitchen squats!! Woohoo!) 👩‍⚕️ How many chair squats a day should you do to stay strong in midlife & beyond? 👉 Start with 8–12 reps, 2–3 sets (that’s the “sweet spot” for strength). 👉 Aim for 2–3 times per week, 👉 If daily feels better, sprinkle them in as “movement snacks”: try 1 set of 10–12 whenever you sit down or stand up from a chair. Met in nursing school at 18… now in their 80s still showing us the real prescription for aging well. 👯‍♀️ Are you strength training yet? Save & try this for the next few weeks and see if you feel a difference! These two besties know the secret: movement is medicine. 🪑 Chair squats keep you strong, steady, and independent for LIFE. Take it from the nurses… (and maybe a little from me as a midlife & older adult trainer) they’ve seen it all, and they’ll tell you this is the exercise you never want to skip. 🙌 Shout out to my MIL @sullivanshirley2 & her bestie @zoya_cat ❤️❤️ #StrongAtAnyAge #BestieGoals #ForeverStrong #HealthyAging #ChairSquats
