Ever notice how getting off the floor now takes more effort than it used to?
You’re not alone. And no, you’re not broken.
But you are getting a very real signal from your body: “Hey, we need to get stronger.”
One of our clients here in Stamford shared this recently:
💬 “I was playing with my grandson and suddenly realized I didn’t know how I was going to get up.”
That moment hit her hard. Not because she couldn’t do it—but because it scared her that it was that hard.
We’ve all been there. That awkward “furniture grab” or the knee crawl to an upright position.
It’s not about pride. It’s about independence.
Here’s the truth:
Struggling to get off the floor is not about age—it’s about strength and mobility.
And both of those are 100% trainable.
You’re not stuck. You’re just out of practice.
Here’s what we work on right here at Core Principles to make this easier in everyday life:
✅ Box Squats or Sit-to-Stands – To rebuild the strength to rise from low positions
✅ Split Stance Balance Holds – To increase stability when transitioning between positions
✅ Hip Bridges and Core Work – To support your spine and hips through movement
✅ Floor-to-Stand Progressions – To build confidence and coordination getting up safely
(If those things sounds like “Greek” to you, let me know and I can send a video demonstration designed just for beginners.)
We teach all of these in a safe, supported way. And clients usually notice improvement within two weeks.
This isn’t about “getting in shape.”
This is about staying independent. Confident. Capable.
You don’t need to avoid the floor—you need to train for it. And we can help.
