I live on the floor — literally I’m on the floor multiple times a day: Retrieving my son’s shoes (he can’t bend safely) Doing glute bridges, Russian twists, and other calisthenics Playing with ten cats (they are much shorter than I am) Cleaning floors the old Maine way — on hands and knees Cleanin...
