I found a park near my house with monkey bars and pull-up bars, so I went there with my youngest, who is flying the coop in a couple of days, and decided to try the monkey bars.
I had tried them at the gym months ago and couldn’t get past the first rung. I was never good at this kind of thing as a kid, either. I did them for the first time in my life at 62.
My son cheered me on and gave me a couple of pointers that actually helped. I was the mom being coached, trying to swing from one bar to the next without overthinking it.
In my latest reel, I asked: if I can learn pull-ups in my 60s, what else can I do?
This was one answer. Monkey bars. At 62, I’ll take that. And to top it off it was fun!
I plan on returning to the outdoor fitness area to play around more.
What would you like to try that, until now, you thought it was too late for?
