HI I am Claire. Going to be 50 in a few weeks and want to learn new skills Been into Fitness since my 20s. Just started a new Instagram Page called Claire Gets Stronger which I post everything that is fitness related including my hiking adventures and the start of my Calisthenics journey.

Just sharing some upper body mobility ideas! When i get up I tend to be stiff so I've been doing a lot of mobility work and stretching as part of my morning routine for a long time plus it's a great way to start the day 2 of my favorite upper body are these exercises (see videos, I don't know the names) after all the pull ups and dips I did today, my upper body was a bit sore! These 2 exercises were perfect to losen everything up!😊

Dips: I'm getting better, I do have more control... I go a lot lower with the band sometimes I do negatives today I did banded. I've got control of the rings, I need more strength now😅 Pull ups: Today was the first day i was going over 4 🎉 i got 4 2/3 but on my 5th my shoulder did it's weird funky move ... I'm consistent with 4 so it's a matter of time before i get 5 good reps💪

Tuck planche is progressing slowly. I try to film at least one attempt per session to see if there is any changes in the position. Still working on the lean angle but I think it looks like my protraction is getting better?

I know I needed this and thought others might be inspired by this quote too!
