    Sounds very cool. I am 66, I fall pretty often, and at least _some_ of it is clearly due to failing to adjust to movements of my upper body. I will start including these lower-leg strength exercises in my morning routine, and will hope to notice a difference.

    Also: Do you have any thoughts about ashwaghanda, esp in relation to cortisol reduction?
