But this time I noticed it was hurting a little in my elbows & sholders. I have avoided using resistance bands for several years in exercize classes because they felt like they were putting strain on my joints. No problem, I just substituted equivalent moves with dumbells & all was well. I am 53 yo. The discomfort was not bad & was gone in a day or 2 but is there something different I need to do now that I am .........Okay I'll say it........old :( ?

Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. I'll switch to my laptop really quick, so I can type quicker. I'm on my smartphone right now.
Then, we'll talk about workout, etc.
