HELLO AND WELCOME !

 If you happen to be wondering how can it be possible to keep a breathtaking physique at the age of maturity and wisdom? Well you may stop wondering, because you only have to see it to believe it.

Try and go online to google search and enter the search-word “older and fit” for example. You will be shocked to see how many people are there who had taken the journey into creating what used to be thought as impossible. Great bodies and unimaginable energies and the discipline to stay young and strong and healthy. Even at the age of 80 and above, like Paul Stone (80), Ernestine Shepherd (81), Charles Eugster (95). Those people had proven to the world that age is simply a number and the mindset they follow is eternal.

Isn’t that remarkable? Inspiring? That’s a Big Yes!

All that said, isn’t it time for you to take a bold step towards a better you? Maybe have the body you always wanted and thought it’s too late? To live a life of self reliance and free of stress and pain? To enjoy life as it should be?

I am a 59 year old Personal Trainer and Lifespan Coach who happened to have taken that same route of self transformation and development. I had achieved some remarkable results and managed to pursue my dream of having the best body of my life. I am healthy, stress-free  and I am enjoying my life doing what I love, and that is helping people like you making their fitness and health goals come true, to live a healthy, stress-free and good quality of life.

So, what you’re waiting for. If you are 40 years of age and above and you want to dramatically reverse your age process. Your dream of change is just around the corner waiting for you to take your next step.

Why Strength Training for Older adults is Essential

The human body changes as we age, of course, and often in ways we don’t like. Even healthy, normal aging includes:

• A slower metabolism.
• Decreased muscle mass and strength.
• Increased body fat.
• Reduced bone density.
• Increased bone porosity.
• Stiffer joints.
• Slower reflexes and reaction times.
• Decreased aerobic capacity.

These are just some of the normal changes we experience with aging, but they don’t have to be extreme. One of the most important reasons to exercise at all, and specifically to include strength training, is to slow and minimize these changes.

Can You Still Build Muscle As You Age?

As we age, our muscle mass decreases at surprising rates. According to Dr. David Heber, director of UCLA’s Center for Human Nutrition, an average male who weights 180 pounds might after age 60 lose as much as 10 pounds of muscle mass over a decade.

But can we turn that around?  Heber says absolutely.

In fact, new research published in the journal Medicine & Science In Sports & Exercise finds older adults who begin lifting weights after 50 may win the battle against age-related muscle loss.

“You have to do what we call resistance exercise,” Heber says. This can take a lot of different forms. “It could be lifting weights, it could be stretchy bands, but the key is you have to stretch a muscle.”

When you stretch a muscle to the point of straining it, as is the goal during weight lifting, you set in motion the body’s natural muscle-building response. The muscle has to adapt to the damage and build itself up to be prepared for the next weightlifting assault. In this way, muscles build fiber and actually increase in size.
