Did you know 50’s and 60’s are the new
30’s and 40’s? Baby boomers are the
largest percentage of the population and are healthier than ever before. They
are taking charge of their health.
Sixty percent of my clients are over the
age of 50. All have individual reasons
for training. Some were overweight, menopausal, being put on medicines by their
doctors, chronic back pain, falling and
having limited mobility to having a mini stroke. All very important reason for these
individuals to get started exercising.
Exercise at any age is important and
just because you haven’t started doesn’t mean you can’t reap the benefits.
Exercise is good for the brain. It will boost your mood and self confidence and
improve your sleep. Physically it will help
maintain/lose weight. Exercise will help
maintain bone density which is crucial to getting older. It reduces the impact of illness and chronic
disease. Most importantly it enhances mobility, flexibility and balance. Fitness equals longevity. Of course you know the facts. Hear what some of our clients had to say.
Denise Cole says she was ”tired all the time carrying the
extra weight. I started by taking a couple of classes then started
training. I exceeded my expectation…..2
years and still loving it! I’m stronger,
have more energy and went down 2 sizes.
I have a better attitude and I actually get grumpy if I can’t workout.” I asked her, what would you say to others
over 50 who are thinking of exercising?
She said “Don’t wait any longer. Just get started and you will look and
feel better! PNF is the place for
everyone. We all workout at our comfort level and encouragement is given by
all. I’m
55 and feeling better and younger than when I was 45.“
Denise Varney was tired of being tired.
She didn‘t have the strength or stamina
to do intense activities. A friend invited her to PNF and said PNF was not a
big gym and the personal trainers will help modify and you can go at your own speed. “ I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up. I never would have done it on my own. Thanks to my friend getting me there. I have so much more energy. The loss of weight and my increase in
strength is wonderful. I take classes
and all 4 of my sisters have joined me. Thank you PNF.”
Debbie Daigle has her own story. “I started out just wanting to workout and
thought that I was in pretty good condition and that my weight of 150 was the
lowest I could ever get because of being over 50. Well I was so wrong! I went from a size 12 to
a size 4 and lost 30 pounds. All my life I struggled with weight and at one
point hit close to 200lbs after surgical menopause. I accepted the fact that I would never weigh
less. PNF blew that theory right out of
the water! I love the trainers. They are
all very caring, supportive and knowledgeable.
I’m always challenged and I have fun at the same time. Thank you PNF and
especially Whitney for helping me.”
Tammy Acker didn’t realize how
de-conditioned she was. “ I have
surpassed every goal I have set for myself
and continue to be amazed at the results that can be achieved and what
my body really is capable of doing!”
It is time to take back your health! Start by walking through the door and talking
to your professionals. And soon you’ll be saying “ Who wants to be 20 when I can feel so good
at 50”.
