☑️ Training in your 40s, 50s, 60+!
It’s a lot different. Actually, not really. Well, It depends. Let me
explain…..
Time really flies. Seems like just yesterday I was the 16 year old kid who started working out after being cut. Being told I was too weak. Definitely turned that into a positive!
At 42, with over two decades of training experience, I am just starting to get it:) I have worked with members from 10 to 80+. There is a difference between understanding, and really
understanding. My life, goals, body, everything, has changed a lot over the years. Will continue to change as I get older.
A few things I am starting to understand…….
Treat everyone like an individual-
Every member is treated like an individual. It’s a big mistake to make assumptions based on
the age of an individual. We look at their previous exercise history, injury history, goals, everything.
There is a big difference between someone who has exercised over the past 3 decades, and someone who has not.
Your goals are probably different today than they were 3 decades ago! It's NEVER too late to start or get back into the swings of things.
Mindset!
Get rid of the “I’m too old to …..” mindset. Stop comparing yourself to who you were 30 years ago. The people who do this never make progress! Surround yourself with positive people and focus on today!
More Flexibility and Mobility training as we age
Never skip the warm up and cool down! Devote more time to mobility and flexibility training as you get older. Most 20 year olds can get away not doing much. But it catches up with all of us over time. We include this with every single workout to help prevent injury.
The importance of strength training
Every person needs to be doing strength training! Cardio is not enough!
Do you want to continue to do the things you are doing now? Be able to golf 20 years from now? Book that active vacation in your 70s and 80s? Be able to take care of your family? Not having to worry about your family taking care of you?
Strength training is about more than
building muscle. It's about aging gracefully.
Choosing joint friendly exercises /low impact cardio and exercises-
Training Smart becomes even more important as we age! You can not get away with doing stupid stuff anymore.
That popular boot camp with 100 people and extreme
exercises used to be cool. You used to be able to get away with the extreme exercises and the beat down sessions. You will get to a point where you will get injured just looking at those sessions!
It's about living life. Following the influencer with "cool" exercises will not work anymore! Choose a personal trainer who will write an individualized program designed your body and goals.
Surround yourself with people like you!
Having a support group for accountability will make a big difference! We listen to your needs during the consultation to help you find the best service, best group.
