I use very few muscles at the best of times.

The biggest issue is muscle pliability. That's what I think the biggest secret to me is. What is muscle pliability? Muscle pliability is keeping your muscles long and soft.

The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.

Your body is like a machine, and if you don't keep it in shape, it holds you back. You don't want anything holding you back, especially yourself.

I carry a lot of muscle easily.

If you constantly pound your muscles, they'll never have time to repair.

If you do not use a muscle or any part of the body, it tends to become atrophic. So is the case with the brain. The more you use it, the better it becomes.

I try to stay in shape just to handle things like the stress of a job or everyday life.

You have to challenge yourself and your muscles. When you are really regimented, it's the same over and over and you start to get comfortable. Switching up the style of training works your muscles differently.

I try to keep it in a very low impact - I have scoliosis, so exercises can be really hard on my back, whether it's too much running, jumping or boxing. I'll do those things once in a while, but I keep it mostly Pilates, resistance-band based, softer exercises that build strength from inside the muscle.
