I have been strength training myself for the past 10 years. I started out not really knowing how to lift or progress. I got a personal trainer and learned the safe and effective way to improve my strength and fitness. Then, I loved it so much I became a certified personal trainer and started training women like myself, in their 50’s and above wanting to feel stronger and add a little muscle to combat the inevitable loss of muscle mass as we enter menopause. It was so exciting to see my clients get the same results I did, all it required was consistency. As a physical therapist, I made sure to design the programs to prevent injury and address functional strength. My clients are not interested in buidling huge muscles, but are interested in looking more toned, continuing to be able to do the things they love, be it hiking, tennis, biking or playing with their grandchildren!
Sometimes it is difficult to afford a one on one personal trainer or get into a gym facility, so I designed this program so that you can easily access video instruction on your computer, ipad or phone. These videos include instruction and adaptations to keep the exercises safe and effective. You can also do this at home, all you need is a few small dumbbells (I recommend getting a set of 3-15 lbs) and a resistance band. If you can be consistent and work out at least 2x per week, you will get results. I have seen it happen with my clients and myself! As of this time, I am 62, bike for fun and enjoy hip hop dancing. This would only be happening if I also was strong.
Come join us and get stronger, feel better and improve your health span!
