Strengthening and Stabilizing our Body & Mind

AS we age our bodies, our strength, our stability becomes jeopardized. We look in the mirror and notice that our body is changing; skin is a bit looser, we see a few more wrinkles, gravity has taken its toll. We are not as strong as we used to be.  And,we find ourselves losing our balance, sometimes doing the most simplest task.
