The clips of my mum Rhoda's most recent walk were taken from our latest episode in the Rebuilding Mum & Dad series.
At 83, she has found a whole new level of strength that has quite literally changed how she feels when she walks.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, she describes her back as feeling "weightless".
We’re joined by my parents' coach, Chris Reis (also a Doctor of Physical Therapy) who explains why this surge in strength is happening now — over 18 months into her journey — from the accumulated gains of her training along with the vital role that nutrition and a "mindset shift" around eating more have played in her progress.
Whether you’re just starting your own strength journey or helping a loved one, we hope this update shows that it's truly never too late to rebuild.
The full episode is available now on The Honest Channel and linked in this Short.
