Back in my 20s, when I was a fitness instructor in Madrid, my sister @sandracarbonell_ used to take my classes. Now, the roles have reversed—she’s the one giving me tips to improve my pull-ups!

Training together in Madrid again was so much fun, especially after she had already been Coaching me through texts and social media.

Good genes may help—she’s 49, and I’m 61—but staying mobile and strong takes effort. If we didn’t work out, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Follow @sandracarbonell_ on IG for great workout inspiration, and DM her if you’re interested in online one-on-one training from anywhere in the world. She’s also bilingual in English and Spanish!

Do you work out with your family? Let me know in the comments!
