'I've been training my mom for 6+ years, she's 70, but has the mobility of a much younger person' — expert coach shares why
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I train my dad, who is in his 70s; we do two one-hour sessions per week, starting with mobility exercises and then moving into weightlifting. So, when I hear about other coaches training their parents, it piques my interest and makes me happy. Although sarcopenia — the loss of muscle mass — accelerates after 50, it doesn't spell the end for your body. You can boost longevity and increase and maintain lean muscle mass and bone density through a consistent exercise program — you just need to know what to do and what works for your body. I'm obsessed with The Knees Over Toes Guy, who specializes in reducing knee pain through exercise and runs an online coaching program called ATG. He shares four exercise methods he uses with his mom to increase longevity and help anyone live better (and younger). What's the secret to longevity? My dad's exercise program includes weightlifting, compound exercises and mobility work, and I'm not surprised to see a similar approach here. Maintaining mobility and as much range of motion as possible in the joints is crucial as you age, as is resistance training to maintain muscle mass and prevent atrophy. Here are the methods discussed in the video. 1. Resist from the ground Don't worry, you don't have to push or pull very heavy weights to benefit from this one. It should be used as a foundation and can include sled or resisted treadmill training. Simply, it means powering up the legs and working the hips, core, glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves. This is great for increasing your heart rate and also boosting circulation as you work your legs through resistance. I recommend watching the video from start to finish to understand what this means for you. 2. Stretch-strength This is my bread and butter, and I rate it as one of the best ways to bulletproof the body against injury. You can build all the strength in the world, but if your joints are immobile and muscles are tight, you'll struggle to move properly. As pointed out during the video, stretch-strength is described as 'yoga and lifting combined.' I don't expect this to mean adding dumbbells to your downward dog. I recommend practicing yoga, Pilates, or a gentle stretching and mobility routine several times a week alongside lifting weights a couple of times per week, even once if you don't have more time. As said in the video: 'Youth equals flexibility, adulthood equals strength.' Finding the time to lift weights or build out a well-rounded strength program might seem like hard work, so keep it simple and focus on two full-body resistance sessions per week or between one and three sessions split by upper-body workouts and lower-body strength. If you're short on time, add mobility exercises relevant to the muscle groups you're training before you start exercising, then focus on some light stretching of the same muscle groups afterward. I like to include a yoga or Pilates session once per week to support my weightlifting efforts. 3. Explore An exercise or workout might seem intimidating, but we're all capable of trying out the same exercises and seeing what works for our bodies. Besides, learning new skills keeps us mentally sharp and engaged. For example, a few years back, my dad and I set the target for him to barbell deadlift 100kg by the end of the year — we smashed that target, and he found a new one-rep max in an exercise he didn't know existed until earlier that same year. It's never too late to learn something new, and I truly believe there's something for everyone. If you have an injury, health condition, or are pre- or post-natal, I recommend speaking with a qualified medical professional if you're unsure. 4. Equipment or no equipment You don't need a home gym or even a public gym to exercise, but it is a common barrier for people. Instead, think outside the box by using anything you can find outdoors or at home to exercise with. Sofas, park benches, chairs, monkey bars, or even stairwells work. I've been known to program a few staircase workouts — it's incredible how effective the stairs can be for lunges, squats, push-ups, and even cardio. Remember, a lot of effective mobility exercises can be done on an exercise mat using your bodyweight or even a resistance band or yoga block, so don't be overwhelmed by the options. And the same can be said for bodyweight workouts, too. I've included a short mobility routine you can follow below to help you get started.

X Factor star 'splits from husband' as she makes Glastonbury debut Lucie Jones, who starred on the X Factor, has reportedly split from her husband Ethan Boroian, after eight years of marriage as she made her debut at Glastonbury Lucie Jones is performing at Glastonbury this year (Image: Darren Pepe ) A former X Factor contestant has reportedly parted ways with her spouse of eight years amidst her Glastonbury Festival debut. Lucie Jones and Ethan Boroian are said to have ended their marriage. The pair, who initially crossed paths during their 2009 X Factor auditions, have apparently decided to separate. Reports suggest that the couple are discreetly navigating through a divorce, with Lucie having unfollowed her husband on social platforms. Sources indicate that over time, the two have drifted apart. An insider remarked that they were "young when they married" and now Lucie's priorities have shifted. A source disclosed to The Sun: "She has been busy focusing on pursuing her career on the West End stage and travelling the globe, they're moving on with their lives. Lucie's in a really good place and has already moved on and met someone else and has loved performing at Glastonbury." They further commented: "Ethan is no longer in showbusiness and their lives were headed in different directions," reports the Mirror. Lucie and Ethan have been married for 8 years (Image:for ATG ) Article continues below Great British Bake Off winner issues very honest response after BBC axes show READ MORE: Lucie's performance at Glastonbury marked her first appearance at the iconic Worthy Farm event. Prior to the festival, she teased "cool surprises" for what she described as a "huge celebration of music and theatre" gearing up for a thrilling three-day stint. Overjoyed by the invitation to perform, she shared her excitement with the Mirror before her performances, giving a hint of what festival-goers could anticipate from her shows. She remarked: "When I was there last year, I was like, 'why is there no musical theatre here?' I was just walking around and I was thinking, these people would love a bit of defying gravity. "I think a lot of people think of musical theatre as like jazz hands and tap dance. But that just isn't the style that I do. It's going to be super upbeat and you're going to know every song. There's a bit of that in musical theatre, of course, but it's a whole world of other stuff as well." Lucie rose to fame on X Factor in 2009 (Image: ITV ) She also hinted at exciting collaborations for her upcoming performances. "There's a couple of friends that I've got that are playing at Glastonbury who, quite possibly will be joining me, or I'll be joining them during their set," she revealed. Article continues below "I'm really excited about one or two of them. It's going to be super cool and they're not necessarily musical theatre acts." Lucie, who once flew the flag for the UK at Eurovision, has since acknowledged how the X Factor dramatically transformed her career. The talent show has been a launchpad for several artists, including Joe McElderry, with whom Lucie remains good friends. "I'm going to Ibiza tomorrow and I'm going to see Joe McElderry," she disclosed.

Gogo confirms STC approved for Gogo C1-LRU for multiple aircraft types to support continued inflight connectivity for legacy ATG customers
$35,000 installation incentive if they complete the C1 installation before December 31, 2025 The Gogo C1 box will ensure simple transition to renewed LTE network. Broomfield, CO., June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO) has confirmed its Gogo C1 line replaceable unit (LRU) has received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for 42 aircraft models through an Approved Model List (AML) granted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The confirmation covers 70% of North American Gogo legacy air-to-ground (ATG) customer aircraft and, once equipped, will ensure continued compatibility with and connectivity to Gogo's forthcoming LTE network upgrade. Metrea Aerospace Design (MASD) collaborated with Gogo to generate the AML STC, which covers aircraft including Cessna Citation, Gulfstream, Bombardier Challenger and Learjet, Dassault Falcon, Embraer, and Hawker family models. Equipping the Gogo C1 will enable current customers operating with legacy ATG 1000, 2000, 4000 or 5000 systems to seamlessly transition to the upgraded Gogo Biz North American 850MHz Licensed LTE network when it comes online in May 2026 to ensure uninterrupted service. The Gogo C1 LRU also provides a practical bridging capability for customers planning to switch up to Gogo AVANCE products, which enables optimized inflight productivity through internet, voice, streaming, popular pilot applications, and more. To maintain continuity, the C1 houses a dual-technology aircard that connects to the existing network and will automatically transition to the new LTE network when it becomes available. To simplify installation, Gogo has designed the C1 with external dimensions and attachment points to match the legacy products, enabling a form-fit replacement. The LRU swap will require minimal downtime, and the Gogo C1 hardware will provide customers with a simple transition pathway, delivering access to a strengthened, future-ready network for more capacity and an improved customer experience. 'ATG continues to represent a valuable connectivity solution for aircraft operating over North America, so we want to make it easy and fast for our customers to maintain their connectivity while seamlessly transitioning to the upgraded LTE network,' says Gogo CEO Chris Moore. 'We know that customers need to plan connectivity upgrades, so we've invested in creating the Gogo C1 LRU to help clients navigate the practical and financial pathway from legacy ATG services to our AVANCE portfolio. We are already working with our extensive approved dealer network to ensure it's a streamlined process.' Customers are eligible for a $35,000 installation incentive if they complete the C1 installation before December 31, 2025.

Gogo successfully completes first 5G end-to-end call.
5G end-to-end connection marks a significant step towards delivery of next-generation air-to-ground connectivity. Gogo ATG tower Broomfield, CO., June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broomfield, CO./ June 18, 2025 – Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO) confirms today that GCT Semiconductor has successfully completed the very first end-to-end call using its next-generation 5G technology. The call, which took place on June 16, 2025, confirms the Gogo 5G chip is fully functional and ready to move through the final phases of integration. The technology milestone represents a critical stage in Gogo's journey towards delivering 5G air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity to North American operators. GCT Semiconductor Holding, Inc. (NYSE: GCTS) delivered the new 5G chipset to Airspan, a provider of network deployment solutions and Gogo's 5G partner, in May. The successful integration of the microchip, which is smaller than a thumbnail, into hardware and software allowed Airspan to configure and support the end-to-end call. The connection, set-up in the lab, confirms the 5G technology is ready to transition to the next phase of integration testing and performance optimization. With the final trials and documentation completed, Gogo will be ready to ship the 5G solution to its MRO network for installation. Along with a more resilient connection, the Gogo 5G ATG system, which has been designed specifically for business aviation users, will provide customers with high-speed broadband for smoother video conferencing, streaming, and other activities across multiple devices, than has been possible before. This latest development builds on the significant strides Gogo has already made in its 5G test effort, which includes receiving formal approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to produce and manufacture the AVANCE LX5 Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), which with a smaller form factor and single box option enables streamlined installation. Gogo has also invested in a network of 170 5G towers covering the U.S. and parts of Canada, the installation of a new '5G core' at its data center, the development of a new 5G aircraft antenna, as well as the 5G-optimized AVANCE LX5 line replaceable units, LRUs. 'Gogo's commitment to delivering 5G connectivity has been consistent, even when there have been setbacks, so the successful validation of the chip represents a major achievement for us and our dedicated partners at GCT and Airspan,' says Chris Moore, Gogo CEO. 'Our North American tower network is 5G-ready, the antennas are prepared for shipping, and the technology is in place to enable connection across North America through the AVANCE LX5 LRUs. We're excited to be moving closer to our goal of delivering 5G connectivity to customers by the end of the year and are confident that customers will enjoy the upgraded experience. This is certainly a defining moment for business aviation connectivity.' More than 300 aircraft are pre-provisioned for Gogo 5G connectivity. Customers operating within the CONUS region and seeking reliable, high-speed connectivity can expect that installing the Gogo 5G system will take approximately two weeks, while an aircraft with an AVANCE LX5 LRU can be equipped in a shorter time frame.
