💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
After turning 60, I noticed carrying grocery bags from the car was becoming difficult. I started doing bicep curls with soup cans while watching the news. Within a month, I could carry all the groceries in one trip without strain. Now at 68, I still do them daily and recently carried my new granddaughter around for hours without arm fatigue. That one minute has made a decade of difference.
