Miranda Esmonde-White doesn't look or move like a typical 70-year-old. The former ballerina credits it all to exercise, but not the way most people think of it.
There's no need for treadmills, elliptical machines, aerobics classes, weights or yoga — all of which can lead to injuries and unnecessary stress on the joints, she believes.
Instead, the "Aging Backwards" author prescribes a full-body routine that uses all of a person's 650 muscles and 360 joints in one low-impact workout. The key is to always be in motion, rather than hold a pose, she said. Esmonde-White favors big sweeping movements while standing, which she calls a dynamic stretch workout.
