Fit Over 50

   Yes, it's possible. No longer do we (and yes I say we) want to just accept getting older and looking forward to our retirement sitting on the porch. Most of us want to keep looking great, feeling stronger and still having confidence in our bodies.

  According to Robert Wolfe, a professor of geriatrics and director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. "As a rule, muscle mass declines with age, starting in the 40s and picking up speed after about age 50. Then the typical rate of muscle loss really begins to outpace the rate of muscle gain, so that there's an increasing net deficit." With the loss of muscle the metabolism slows down. You gain more body fat and can loose mobility. Not to mention the risk for osteoporosis. Don't you deserve better?

This is were strength training is so important. I have a fitness class I teach in New Market consisting people between the ages of 60 to 78. The class consist of strength training, balance work and cardio. All have seen results from improvement in bone mass,stamina and strength. One gentleman never exercised before he started private training sessions with me. He trained with me 3 times a week and with in 1 year he was running 5K's. I am so proud of all of them. Most of these people travel out of the country and came back saying how relieved they were that they had the endurance to enjoy their trips.

Starting a training program can be a bit over whelming for many. Especially, if you haven't ever really exercised let alone personal trained. Each of my sessions are specifically design around each client. As we get to know each other I will learn what motivates you and your training style. I can work around any limitations or health issues you may be struggling with. With that I design your workouts to get the job done. I do recommend you train with me 2 or 3 days a week. Within a month of consistant workouts you will feel you have more energy. Two months you will feel stronger and have more balance. By the end of 6 months you will see a difference in your body. Ofcourse, all this depends on what you do on your own and mindful eating. My goal is to inspire you to reach your fitness goals in a way that you will make it lifestyle change. We all deserve to have the best life possible. I would be honored to help you reach all your fitness goals. Be it 5K's, touring china's great wall, skiing, riding horses or hiking.
