Scenario

When different generations exercise together across age gaps

My adult son and I both gained weight during covid and decided to work out together, but he's 25 and I'm 55 and we're both pretending our bodies should respond the same way — he gets frustrated when I need more rest, I feel ashamed that I can't keep up with someone I gave birth to.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two family members are struggling to accept that their bodies exist in different relationships with time and capacity.
