A Fall That Should Have Broken Me… But Didn’t

Move Well, Stay Healthy

Monday, I took a nasty fall on ice.

Not just a little slip—this was a full wipeout down three steps.

By the time I hit the ground, I thought I might have wrecked my hip, knee, ankle, and even my shoulder.

I was sore—really sore.

But here’s the crazy part… no major injury.

At 71, most people in my shoes would be looking at surgery, maybe even a new hip.

But because I practice Contracted Stretching, I’ve built strength through my full range of motion.

My joints and muscles know how to absorb impact, move correctly, and recover fast.

The next day, I wasn’t broken. I was moving.

Sore? Sure.

But injured? Nope.

That’s the power of training your body to be strong AND flexible.

Not just for fitness, but for real-life moments like this.

So, do yourself a favor—start today.

Build resilience, not just muscles.

Because life will knock you down… but wouldn’t it be nice to bounce back instead of breaking?
