When I began my own personal journey toward fitness, I thought it was all about losing weight and
looking “buff.” Now, as I approach my 6th decade, I realize that the most critical reason for getting
and staying fit is for overall health and wellness; to be able to perform all activities of daily living
independently, in short, to be functional. I have had several diagnoses (arthritis, myofacsial pain disorder,
fibromyalgia and functional scoliosis) to help convince me of this.Secondary fitness goals will vary and are
specific to the individual. They may include
losing or gaining weight, improving flexibility and
endurance, or increasing strength and muscle
mass. Getting ready for a particular event (i.e.
wedding or class reunion) is a great motivator
and goal, but will hopefully not signal the end of a
person’s desire to feel better.
Non-training adults lose 5 pounds of muscle
tissue per decade, resulting in a 3% reduction in
metabolic rate. Resistance training (lifting weights,
therabands, kettleballs, medicine balls) helps
preserve lean muscle tissue and stimulate fat loss,
as well as the metabolism. This is important for all
ages, but especially for those of us who are more
mature. It is my mission to work collaboratively
with clients to design a program in line with their
specific goals, and to instill in each a desire for
fitness at a level that can be maintained, with or
without a trainer… to lift for life!
