Discover How to Improve Your Strength,
Flexibility & Metabolism
– at Any Age!
15-Minute Science-Based Classes
4.7 of 5 – Trustpilot Top Rating
Have you lost strength and flexibility as you’ve gotten older? Has your metabolism slowed down? People like to say that “age is just a number,” but that’s not true. Aging is a predictable, biological decline — but not everyone ages at the same pace.
Good news: exercise is proven to be the most powerful anti-aging elixir in the world. Bad news: most people struggle to stay consistent, have trouble finding time to go to the gym, and worse still, they’re not sure which exercises to focus on for maximum results.
To make it simple and convenient to support your body as you age, I created YOGABODY Daily.
Top Benefits You’ll Experience:
Strength Gains
You’ll notice more power in your grip, energy when walk or run, and stability while carrying groceries, kids, or household items. Students usually feel initial gains quickly – often in 10-14 days.
Flexibility Gains
Unlock your hips, hamstrings, spine, and shoulders. Get up and down with ease, squat deeper, and finally hinge forward without low back pain. Most students see significant changes within 21-30 days.
Metabolic Boost
When you reduce your waist circumference and belly fat, it’s common to see a drop in blood pressure, blood sugar, and improved lipid levels. Metabolic changes don’t happen overnight, but within one to three months – before your next blood test – most people are able to make measurable improvements with wide-reaching benefits.
My “Old Man” Story
Aging is rarely slow and gradual. Instead, most of us experience rug pull moments where we age at warp speed. For me, it was a few years ago when a skin infection spread and required emergency surgery and a five-day hospital stay.
Previously, I’d enjoyed the invincibility of youth. I might get sick, break a bone, pull a muscle; and while it was no fun, I’d always bounce back fast.
This time was different. I felt like an old man. My recovery was shockingly slow. I experienced hair loss, strength loss, and even months after my scar had healed, my energy level was garbage.
I’m a career yoga teacher, so I’ve spent the past 20+ years fully immersed in health and wellness. I eat well, I’m extremely active, and my heart is in great shape too…
… but, age catches up with everyone.
Prior to my infection, I’d be working 14-hour days, traveling internationally, and failing to balance work, family, and sleep. Maybe something similar has happened to you? When you’re burning the candle at both ends, your health can spiral downward fast.
Age is not just a number, and finally, I accepted that and took action to prepare for the next chapters of my life. Quickly, l learned it’s not that hard or complicated, but you do need a plan. You also need to be easy on yourself, and you need consistency.
Here’s my “slow aging” plan
I’d like to spend as little time as possible in doctors’ offices and pharmacies, and as much time as I can outdoors with my family and friends. I’m not trying to win races or break records, but I do want to hike, bike, travel, and continue to fit into my size 32 jeans.
My philosophy is that your fitness routine should enhance your quality of life – not become your life – because most people don’t want to live in the gym or obsess over every food that enters their mouth.
This approach to training for healthspan aims to deliver amazing results in minimal time, all from home, with safety and simplicity as a focus.
Are You Aging Too Quickly?
Many people judge aging based on what they see in the mirror. Don’t do that! Some people can look great and be at death’s door. Others are gray and wrinkled, but as strong as an ox. Below are some baseline tests that will give you a much better check-in than the mirror.
Use these simple at-home tests to gauge your strength, flexibility, and metabolic health in under 10 minutes.
Here’s What the Science Says
Your waistline is your biggest leverage point. If your weight stays in a healthy range, you greatly reduce your risk of developing heart disease, joint problems, and even cognitive decline.
Next, cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂ max) is the strongest known predictor of longevity. It reflects how efficiently your heart and lungs deliver oxygen during exercise and directly correlates with how active you are. Think of it as your personal fitness scorecard.
Lean muscle mass and strength come next—and they’re often overlooked. As we age, it’s common to maintain the same weight while quietly losing muscle and gaining fat. That trade-off is dangerous. Muscle supports bone density, metabolic health, and immune resilience, and it preserves the powerful fast-twitch muscle fibers you need for strength and balance.
Finally, your metabolic health markers—waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and A1C—are likely measured at every check-up, but their importance is often underestimated. The good news? If your weight, cardio fitness, and muscle are on point, your metabolic numbers usually follow suit.
In summary, the best longevity science says:
- Weight management is key
- Cardiorespiratory fitness is your training scorecard
- Muscle really matters
- Metabolic health is crucial—but often a downstream effect of the others

“I’m stronger than I ever was”
A car collided with me while cycling…I was left with lots of soft tissue injuries and a rotator cuff injury which later turned to frozen shoulder. I got so weak that I could barely lift a cup of tea. I'm happy to say now that after one year since the accident and eight months of YOGABODY, I'm stronger than I ever was, and my range of motion is almost back to normal. It is such a part of my everyday life now.

“Great program so far!”
For me personally it’s exercises like these, that really hit the spot - but in a good way! Really makes you feel your muscles in all the ranges of motion you wouldn’t normally use without training them. Great program so far!
Max B
“I’m hooked!”
I did the 21-day trial and I’m amazed at how effective this program is… I’m hooked! I’m 65 and have practiced yoga for decades. These 15-minute stretch and strength sessions are a perfect accompaniment to my practice and are every bit as challenging!

“I’m so glad I found this program”
I'm in my sixties now and I have been a bit baffled by the drop in strength and energy in recent years. I'm so glad I found this program. Slow and steady, but never an injury since I started it 9 months ago. I definitely feel the loss after a bout of sickness, but I keep coming back.
Vicki K
“The only program I’ve followed consistently”
I’ve tried every program out there and have never been able to persist beyond the initial excitement. YOGABODY Daily is the only program I am actually doing consistently and am loving it. The exercises are simple and doable. I love that it’s about building my strength and flexibility slowly over time. Best program out there if you believe that slow and steady wins the race.

“I can't recommend it highly enough!”
YOGABODY Daily is a phenomenal program. The concept is simple, but the delivery makes it unique. The team are inspirational and supportive at the same time, and the quality of the program is outstanding. The results also speak for themselves - I have gotten stronger and more flexible in just a few weeks and I can't wait to see how far I can go.

“Fewer aches and pains and more mobility”
I am a 66-year-old female and recently started the daily strength and stretching program. I use it to supplement other things that I do to stay fit and healthy. I have already noticed positive changes - fewer aches and pains and more mobility. I really recommend this program!

Frequently Asked Questions
Now is the Best Time to Start
You already know that exercise is the most powerful way to slow aging—but you’re probably not as consistent as you’d like to be. You’re in a new chapter of life, and the crash diets and short-term fitness binges that worked in your twenties can now leave you injured or burnt out.
What you need now is consistency—and the easiest way to stay consistent is by working out at home, on your schedule.
That’s exactly why I created YOGABODY Daily. It solves the problem so many of us share: making health a daily habit that fits into real life. I’m thrilled to report it’s working.
When you sign up, you’ll join thousands of like-minded people in 17 countries, all united by a shared goal to live our best lives. I hope to see you in class!
Keep practicing.
