98 and unstoppable: a nine-move mobility routine keeps her mobile

At 98, Ilse trains four days a week and follows a nine-move mobility routine to boost strength, balance and safe daily movement after hip surgery. The exercises—sit-to-stand progressions, band-resisted moves, balance work, floor transfers, and glute-focused bridges—are designed for functional independence, with experts stressing multi-direction movement to aid recovery. Her life story—from Kindertransport survivor to active advocate—proves it's never too late to move.
