Have you ever had a shoulder injury that changed the way you exercise? After 50, I think a few minutes of warming up and paying attention to proper form can make a big difference. What has worked for you?

One thing I learned is that the big muscles aren't the whole story. The rotator cuff and upper-back muscles help stabilize the shoulder, so they deserve attention too. 💪

The goal isn't to stop exercising as we get older—it's to exercise smarter. Warm up, use good form, progress gradually, and don't ignore pain that doesn't go away.
